Auto-Hide Session Layer

Each USD stage is created with a session layer which provides a "scratch space" to configure, override and experiment with layer edits. To learn more, see session layer in the Pixar USD Glossary.

• When auto-hide session layer is unchecked, the session layer is always visible.
• By default, the auto-hide session layer is checked. When auto-hide session layer is checked, the session layer is only visible for the following reasons:
  • the session layer is not empty
  • the session layer is the target layer

Confirm save of existing files

When enabled, you will get a prompt when saving existing .usd files (note that this is not for export and only valid for core USD files). If disabled, you will not get a prompt.
