Why we like it

Stored Views earns its place in the Blender Extensions library as a carryover from Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons, now offered by the community as-is with limited support.

What is Stored Views?

Stored Views is a community add-on for Blender that lets you save and restore views, point of view, layers and display configurations. You reach it from the 3D Viewport sidebar under View → Stored Views. Both saving and restoring happen from that panel.

The add-on was part of Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons and is now offered as-is with limited support. Its original authors are nfloyd and Francesco Siddi. The extension requests access to the directory where it stores and reads view presets.

Version 0.4.0 was published in May 2024 and works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it ranks 105 in the Blender Extensions library. The add-on is listed here as free.

Who is Stored Views best for?

Stored Views is best for blender users who want to save and switch between multiple viewport views, points of view, layers and display configurations.

How much does Stored Views cost?

Stored Views is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does Stored Views work with Blender 4.2?

Stored Views is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so 4.2 is supported. The add-on was originally part of Blender's 4.1 bundled add-ons and is now offered on its own by the community as-is, with limited support. Version 0.4.0 was published in May 2024. If you're running a Blender release below 4.2, check the developer's page for version history and any builds that might suit your setup.

Where is Stored Views located in Blender's interface?

Stored Views appears in the 3D Viewport sidebar, under View → Stored Views. Open the sidebar in the 3D Viewport, switch to the View tab, and you'll find the panel there for saving and restoring views, point of view, layers and display configurations. The add-on was built by original authors nfloyd and Francesco Siddi and is now offered by the community.

What permissions does Stored Views require?

Stored Views requests access to the directory where it stores and reads view presets, so it needs file access on disk. The extension lists this file permission when you install it in Blender. Beyond that, the add-on is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and version 0.4.0 was published in May 2024. Full permission and licensing details are available on the developer's page.

Is Stored Views free to use?

Stored Views is listed as free here in our catalog, and it's released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Since it's now offered by the community as-is with limited support, the developer's page is the best place to confirm current licensing and terms. It also carries version history and download options there if you need a specific build.
