# Web Arranger

The **Web Arranger** lets you edit places directly in your browser — no VR headset required.

Simply open the **Places Dashboard** and click on a place to launch it in a new tab in the **Web Arranger**, where you can make updates quickly and effortlessly.

### Working with your assets

#### Importing assets

You can upload your own 3D models to Places to help present and pitch your ideas. Supported formats include **.glb**, **.obj**, and **.gltf** (as a .zip file).

To add an asset, either drag and drop it directly into the **Web Arranger** or import it from your computer. Once uploaded, drag the model into your scene. You can snap it to surfaces and adjust its position as needed.

Manipulate an asset by grabbing it with the left mouse button, or select it by clicking, and use the Gizmo to rotate the asset.

You can also quickly duplicate assets by selecting them and using **Ctrl/Cmd + C** and **Ctrl/Cmd + V**.

### Variants&#x20;

In the **Variants** panel, you can create and manage different versions of your scene.

Click the **Plus (+)** button to add a new variant. Select a variant to make it active, and use the arrow keys to quickly switch between variants.

You can also duplicate, rename, and reorder variants as needed.

### Viewpoints&#x20;

**Viewpoints** allow you to review and present your scene from specific perspectives. In the VR app, viewpoints act as teleportation points, letting users quickly jump between predefined positions.

Each place includes one default viewpoint. When you enter a place for the first time — both in the web editor and in the Places app — your position is aligned with this default viewpoint.

In the **Viewpoints** panel, you can create new viewpoints based on your current camera position, as well as duplicate, rename, or delete existing ones.

### User session recording (Heatmaps)

Enable the **User Session Recording** toggle to capture a user’s movement and eye gaze while they explore your place in the VR app.

When recording is enabled, each session is saved automatically and organized by variants.

If recordings are available, the panel expands to display a list of sessions. In the Web Arranger, click on any recording to play it back.
