# Saving your World as a Scene

## Preserve your World Design for Future Use in your My Scenes Library

| This article explains how to save a version of your world in SchoolSpace as a “scene,” so you can return to it or use it again later. You’ll learn who can save a scene, what gets saved (and what doesn’t), and how to organize and find your saved scenes. |

### What is a Scene?

A **scene** is a design of a virtual space in SchoolSpace. A scene can be a full layout of a world (like a campus) or smaller portions of a design (like a group of desks to place throughout a classroom) that can be used as building blocks to create a world.

 

---

 

### Saving a Scene

[Designers, Managers, or world Owners](https://support.schoolspace.io/schoolspace-roles-and-permissions?hsLang=en) can save the design of a world by creating a scene. When you save a scene, all of the assets currently placed in the world and any changes you made to assets (i.e. transformations like [resizing](https://support.schoolspace.io/using-builder-mode#resize-asset) or [flipping](https://support.schoolspace.io/using-builder-mode#flip) assets and any configuration like [attaching websites](https://support.schoolspace.io/attach-links-forms-images-pdfs-or-text?hsLang=en) or creating [Landmark Zones](https://support.schoolspace.io/create-teleports-portals-and-landmarks#landmarks)) are included in the saved scene. Users with these permissions can also [drop a scene or replace the entire world with a scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/get-started-with-a-ready-to-use-scene?hsLang=en#add-scene), either from the SchoolSpace Scene Library or from their saved scenes.

You can choose to [save a new scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/save-scene#save-new-scene) or [overwrite a previously saved scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/save-scene#overwrite-scene) to update it with a new version.

 

##### To Save a Scene:

1. Click **Builder Mode** ![builder](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/builder.svg) in the left sidebar or **press B on your keyboard** to enter Builder Mode.
2. Click **Scenes** ![scenes](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/scenes.svg) in the left sidebar.
3. Click the **purple plus ![plus](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/plus.svg) button** at the top of the Scenes page.
   
   | ![Scene - Create Scene Button](https://support.schoolspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Scene%20-%20Create%20Scene%20Button.png?width=150&height=51&name=Scene%20-%20Create%20Scene%20Button.png) |
   | --- |
4. Type a name in the **Scene Name** field. You may want to use a version number for easy identification in the future, such as:
   
     - *“STEM Fair V1 - 2025.06.27”*
     - *“Wellness Garden V2.1 - May updates”*
5. \[Optional\] Add a description under the **Scene Description** field, categories (maximum of 3) and tags under **Classification.**
   
   | ![Scene Library - Side Drawer - Create Scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Scene%20Library%20-%20Side%20Drawer%20-%20Create%20Scene.png?width=250&height=464&name=Scene%20Library%20-%20Side%20Drawer%20-%20Create%20Scene.png) |
   | --- |
6. Click the **Create Scene** button**.**
7. Your scene is now saved and available in your Scene Library.

Pro-tip: You may want to save small configurations of assets that you plan to use in the future (e.g. rows of desks for a classroom). Your scenes can be the building blocks to designing a whole world!

You can organize your scenes with up to 3 categories and unlimited tags.

 

##### To Overwrite a Saved Scene:

*If you've made changes to a scene and want to save it again, you can use Overwrite Scene to save your updates without creating a new version.*

1. Click **Builder Mode** ![builder](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/builder.svg) in the left sidebar or **press B on your keyboard** to enter Builder Mode.
2. Click **Scenes** ![scenes](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/scenes.svg) in the left sidebar.
3. On the right side, click All Sources and select **My Scenes.**
   
   | ![SchoolSpace-Scenes-All-Sources](https://support.schoolspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/SchoolSpace-Scenes-All-Sources.png?width=200&height=173&name=SchoolSpace-Scenes-All-Sources.png) |
   | --- |
4. **Scroll down** or use ![filter](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/filter.svg) **Filter Results** to find your previously saved scene.
5. Click the![ellipsis](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/ellipsis.svg) more actions button, click **Overwrite Scene.**

   | ![SSpace-Scene-Overwrite](https://support.schoolspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/SSpace-Scene-Overwrite.png?width=200&height=146&name=SSpace-Scene-Overwrite.png) |
   | --- |
6. A confirmation popup will open showing:
   
     - **What you're replacing.** This is what will no longer be in the scene if you overwrite it.
     - **What you're replacing it with.** This is what will be added to the scene if you overwrite it.
     - Both of the above lists will also show assets, media, and links that you’re removing or adding as a part of the overwrite process.
   
   | ![Scene - Overwrite Scene Modal](https://support.schoolspace.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Scene%20-%20Overwrite%20Scene%20Modal.png?width=500&height=543&name=Scene%20-%20Overwrite%20Scene%20Modal.png) |
   | --- |
7. Click **Overwrite Scene** to confirm and update the previously saved scene with a new version based on your current world design. Or click **Cancel** to exit and return to the My Scenes table view.

Overwriting a scene means you will lose access to the previously saved version. To maintain access to your previously saved scene, [save your changes as a new scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/save-scene#save-new-scene).

### What Gets Saved and What Doesn't?

#### ![yes](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/yes.svg)Saved

- **Assets:** All assets and their current placement.
- **Asset Configuration:** Anything you’ve added to the assets ([links](https://support.schoolspace.io/attach-links-forms-images-pdfs-or-text?hsLang=en), [media](https://support.schoolspace.io/add-video-or-audio?hsLang=en), broadcast zone, etc).
- **World Background Image:** If you use a background image for your world, it will be saved in the Scene. However, when the Scene is used in a world, the Background Image will only be shown if you use Replace Scene ![replace](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/replace.svg). It will not appear if you use Drop Scene ![drop](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/drop.svg). [Learn more about Replace Scene vs. Drop Scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/get-started-with-a-ready-to-use-scene?hsLang=en#add-scene).

 

#### ![no](https://support.schoolspace.io/hubfs/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/no.svg)Not Saved

- **World Background Color:** If you use a solid color for the background it is not currently saved as part of a scene.
- **World Map:** The World Map is a static image that can be updated after you drop or replace a scene.

### Best Practices for Saving Scenes

- **Save often, especially before big changes.**Saving a scene is a great way to preserve your work in case you want to test out a new idea or revert back later. Adding a few words in the description can also save confusion later: “Added breakout zones,” “Updated links,” etc.
- **Use Overwrite Scene to avoid confusion and reduce multiple versions.**  
  Have you ever saved a scene only to realize you need to make a few more changes? Instead of making these changes and saving a new scene, you can use [Overwrite Scene](https://support.schoolspace.io/save-scene#overwrite-scene) to replace a previously saved scene with your updated version.
- **Save smaller configurations for easy use in the future.**Saving “micro-scenes” can be a helpful way to create new world layouts. You can use these as building blocks by dropping multiple "micro-scenes" in a world.
