About Auto Add Fields

When the "Remove Existing Fields" checkbox is unchecked, "Auto Add Fields" will add only new files that are not already included, and without duplication.

Auto Add Fields will be done in the following cases even when the "Proceed" button is not pressed:

  • When the scene hierarchy is updated
