1. In the Reference Editor, select a reference.
2. To list the reference edits for the selected reference, do one of the following:
   • Click File > List Reference Edits in the Reference Editor.
   • the reference and select File > List Reference Edits from the pop-up menu that appears.

   A window listing all of the edits made to the selected reference appears.

To copy a reference edit to the Script Editor

1. With a reference selected, do one of the following:
   • Click File > List Reference Edits in the Reference Editor.
   • the reference and select File > List Reference Edits from, the pop-up menu that appears.

   A window listing all of the edits made to the selected reference appears.

2. Double-click a reference edit in the list to copy it to the Script Editor.

To remove reference edits from an unloaded reference

1. With an unloaded reference selected, do one of the following:
   • Click File > List Reference Edits in the Reference Editor.
   • the reference and select File > List Reference Edits from the pop-up menu that appears.

   A window listing all of the edits made to the selected reference appears.

2. Select the reference edits you want to remove.
3. Click Remove Selected Edits.
   Note

   • You can only remove reference edits from an unloaded reference.
   • You can only remove edits that were made from the currently open scene.

   For example, consider A.ma which references B.ma which references C.ma.

   You open B.ma and modify C.ma, and save. If you open A.ma, you can't remove the edits made from B.ma to C.ma. To do so, you would have to re-open B.ma and then remove the edits.
