# Scene Outliner

The **Scene Outliner** contains the list of every [**Object**](/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/scene-objects.md) in the currently selected [**Scene**](/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene.md). It can be used to organize, manage, create, delete, and edit them.

## Prefabs

The pop-up menu that appears by right-clicking on the **Scene Outliner** offers three options relating to **Prefabs**.

* `Make prefab`: The selected **Objects** turn into a **Prefab**.
* `Unpack prefab`: The selected **Prefab Instance** is unpacked, thus the **Objects** that compose it remain in the **Scene** but no longer are a **Prefab Instance**. More information can be found [here.](https://github.com/cgi-studio-gmbh/incari-doc/blob/2024.1/objects-and-types/prefabs/creating-and-using-prefabs.md#unpacking-a-prefab)
* `Edit prefab`: This will open the **Prefab View**, where the [**Prefab Asset**](https://github.com/cgi-studio-gmbh/incari-doc/blob/2024.1/objects-and-types/prefabs/creating-and-using-prefabs.md#editing-the-prefab-asset) can be edited

## Search

The `Search` option allows the user to search **Objects** in a **Scene** by name. To perform a search, click the magnifying glass icon on the top right, and write the name of the **Object** to search.

## Filter

The `Filter` option allows the user to filter **Objects** in a **Scene** by type. To apply a filter, click the filter icon on the top right, and select the types to filter from the drop-down menu. After a filter has been applied, it can be removed with the `Reset` button.

## Frame Selected

Sometimes one gets lost in a **Project**. It is now easier than ever to refocus on a particular **Object**. The user just needs to locate that **Object** in the **Scene Outliner**, right-click, and select `Frame Selected`. This can also be achieved by simply pressing the `F` key.
