In most cases the file manager has three tabs, Template, Modify, and Custom. The Template tab contains all the predefined template contents.

The Custom tab contains all the custom contents you have created with iClone and saved to the various Custom asset libraries.

The file manager changes according to the current mode. For instance, if you click the project button to enter project mode, the file manager Template tab displays the project template files. Double-click a project template to apply it. The Modify tab contains parameters for changing the current project. The Custom tab contains all the projects that you have previously saved.

Add: Add the current editing content to the Custom tab for later use in any iClone project.

Overwrite: select an item then click Overwrite button to replace the selected one with the content from the current project. Only contents in the Custom tab can be over-written.
