# Viewport Right-click Menus

> Contextual menu actions available in the Asset Transformer Studio viewport

The viewport offers actions accessible from contextual menus (right-click).

Depending on whether one occurrence, multiple occurrences, or no occurrence are selected, the contextual menu is different.
