# Using Grade Bins

Store shot settings to a Grade bin when you need grades for future reference. Intermediary grades are useful when you want to experiment with different looks. Grades are saved on a shot-by-shot basis and contain all shot and animation settings.

The location of grade files determine how they can be shared between users scenes, and projects.

Grade bin type: | Contains:
--- | ---
Global | Grades saved for use between all users and projects on the current workstation.
Project | Grades saved for the current project only.
Scene | Grades saved for the current scene only.
User | Grades saved for the current user only.
Quick | Grades saved in a user-defined folder. See Defining the Quick Folder.
Marry | Grades saved as Marry grade files. See Using the Marry Grade Bin.

TipPlace the cursor anywhere outside the file browser or expanded Grade bin, and press Shift+- to cycle through the display of different types of Grade bins.

You can also use Grade bin thumbnails as reference images. See Viewing Reference Images.
