# Scene Outliner The **Scene Outliner** contains the list of every [**Object**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/scene-objects) in the currently selected [**Scene**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene). 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

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. ![Frame Selected Example.](https://4263346935-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLnh3x8s9fddWeG8TaAug%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-db1c2459f65d9b1bb668222fad526010c5ac7a2c%2Fsceneoutliner1520241.gif?alt=media) ## See Also * [**Scene**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene) * [**Scene Objects**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2024.1/objects-and-types/scene-objects)
