Viewpoint animations are also saved with the viewpoints, as they are simply a list of viewpoints treated as keyframes. In fact, viewpoint animations can be made by dragging preset viewpoints onto an empty viewpoint animation. You can organize your viewpoints and viewpoint animations using folders.

You can drag viewpoints around the Saved Viewpoints window, but you cannot save any changes.

There are no buttons on this window, and commands are invoked through context menus.

Through these menus, you can save and update viewpoints, create and manage viewpoint animations, and create folders to organize these viewpoints and viewpoint animations. You can also drag and drop viewpoints or viewpoint animations onto viewpoint animations or folders. Holding down the CTRL key during this operation will copy the element being dragged. This allows fairly complex hierarchies of viewpoint animations and folders to be easily composed.

Viewpoints, folders and viewpoint animations can all be renamed by slow clicking (clicking and pausing without moving the mouse) the element, or clicking it and pressing F2.
