How do I make a thumbnail on Scratch?

I made a project and I also want it to have a thumbnail so that when people see my project the first they see is the thumbnail. I've used the code:
showgotofrontgotox:0y:0cleargraphiceffects

but it does not seem to work. Is there a more efficient method?

Hi. Different people use different ways to make thumbnails, but here are two ways in which I make thumbnails {they work}
1.
whenclickedshowwait3secshide
For this method, you have to place the thumbnail in the front layer manually, but the other one is automated:
2.
whenclickedgotofrontshowwait3secshide
They work for me, so they should work for you too. Hope this helps!

-Create a sprite for your “thumbnail” and then add the code below (no need to add when green flag is clicked, etc..)
showgotofront
-click it
your sprite will show and will “go to front”
-Then click on save project.

Done

Yes, Create a sprite and this youtube video will help: https://youtu.be/ZSmeRyaWITc

If you want me to explain, what I did was make a sprite, then this:
gotox:0y:0showgotofrontcleargraphiceffects

After that then just click that piece of code on your sprite, and then save your project and you will have a thumbnail. I hope this helped.

I'm trying out all of these solutions to pick out the most efficient one. @Nikki_Maxwell15 - where do you find the when timer… block?

It is in the Events block section under
whenbackdropswitchestobackdrop1
You have to change the category from loudness to timer.

Actually can your code be substituted with this code?

whenclickedhideforeverresettimer

and

whenclickedforeveriftimer>0.000.000.1thenshow

The reason I ask is because I cannot find the block
