 ## Considerations
 
@@ -37,3 +37,43 @@ Consider the following before using shallow copy snapshots:
 - All nodes in the cluster must use OpenSearch 2.10 or later to take advantage of shallow copy snapshots.
 - The `incremental` file count and size between the current snapshot and the last snapshot is `0` when using shallow copy snapshots.
 - Searchable snapshots are not supported inside shallow copy snapshots.

+## Shallow snapshot v2 
+
+Starting with OpenSearch 2.17, the shallow snapshot feature offers an improved version called `shallow snapshot v2`, which aims to makes snapshot operations more efficient and scalable by introducing the following enhancements:
+
+* Deterministic snapshot operations: Shallow snapshot v2 makes snapshot operations more deterministic, ensuring consistent and predictable behavior.
+* Minimized cluster state updates: Shallow snapshot v2 minimizes the number of cluster state updates required during snapshot operations, reducing overhead and improving performance.
+* Scalability: Shallow snapshot v2 allows snapshot operations to scale independently of the number of shards in the cluster, enabling better performance and efficiency for large datasets.
+
+Shallow snapshot v2 must be enabled separately from shallow copies.
+
+### Enabling shallow snapshot v2
+
+To enable shallow snapshot v2, enable the following repository settings:
+
+- `remote_store_index_shallow_copy: true`
+- `shallow_snapshot_v2: true`
+
+The following example request creates a shallow snapshot v2 repository:
+
+```bash
+PUT /_snapshot/snap_repo
+{
+"type": "s3",
+"settings": {
+"bucket": "test-bucket",
+"base_path": "daily-snaps",
+"remote_store_index_shallow_copy": true,
+"shallow_snapshot_v2": true
+}
+}
+```
+{% include copy-curl.html %}
+
+### Limitations 
+
+Shallow snapshot v2 has the following limitations:
+
+* Shallow snapshot v2 only supported for remote-backed indexes.
+* All nodes in the cluster must use OpenSearch 2.17 or later to take advantage of shallow snapshot v2.
