Using the File Menu

To open a scene from the File menu:

1. Select File > Open. You can also click on the Open button in the File toolbar. The [Ctrl] + [O] (Windows/Linux) or [⌘] + [O] (Mac OS X).

The Open Scene browser opens.

The Database Selector opens.

2. Select an Environment (for example, this could be the name of a cartoon series), the name of the Job (for example, the name or number of an episode in that series) and then the Scene (for example, a specific scene in that particular episode).
3. Select one of the following three options:
Get rights to modify the scene: Allows the user to modify the selected version of the scene and have access to the version manager during the opened session.
Get rights to modify the scene version: Allows the user to modify the currently selected scene version but locks access to the version manager during the opened session.
Get rights to modify all scene assets: Automatically gets all the edit rights for the selected version of the scene. This option is only recommended if you are certain that the selected scene can not be opened for editing by several users at the same time. Large studios should avoid this option.
4. Click on the Open button.
