File operations
The options to manage files are:
| New | Clears the current scene and loads startup.blend |
| Open | Open a blend file |
| Open Recent | Displays a list of recently saved .blend files to open |
| Recover last session | This will load the quit.blend file Blender automatically saves just before exiting. So this option enables you to recover your last work session, e.g. if you closed Blender by accident |
| Recover Auto Save | This will open an automatically saved file to recover it. |
| Save | Save the current blend file. |
| Save As | Opens file browser to specify file name and location of save. |

| User Preferences | Opens the user preferences dialogue. |
| Save User Settings | Saves the current scene and preferences to startup.blend. |
| Load Factory Settings | Restore the default scene to the factory settings. |
| Link or Append | You don’t have to load a complete file, you can load in only selected parts from another file if you wish. |
| Import, (COLLADA) | Blender can use information stored in a variety of other format files which are created by other graphics programs. |
| Export | Normally you save your work in a .blend file, but you can export some or all of your work to a format that can be processed by other graphics programs. |
