About Stored Views
Stored Views is a community‑maintained add‑on for Blender that enables users to save and later restore viewport configurations, including camera position, layer visibility, and display options. The panel appears in the 3D Viewport sidebar under View → Stored Views, where both saving and restoring actions are performed. Originally bundled with Blender 4.1, the add‑on is now distributed separately and receives limited support. Version 0.4.0, released in May 2024, works with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It stores presets in a user‑specified directory, requiring file‑system access. The software is released under the GNU GPL v3.0 or later and is listed as free in the Blender Extensions library.
