Figure 1.10 - Append and Link

The Append option incorporates data into a new file, which merges the

information to your current project. The Link option creates a relative

connection to the original project file saved. It means the data won't stay

at your current project, but in the external Blender file, from where you

pulled the asset.

If you want to make changes to the asset, like a material or 3D model,

you should pick the Append option. For the cases where you don't need

to make changes, use the Link option.

For instance, if you want to get a WorkSpace from another Blender file

saved in your hard drive, go to the File → Append menu and locate the

file. Once you click at the filename, you will see a list of folders (Figure

1.11).
