# Menu ## What is the Menu? The Menu is the main navigation bar at the top of the WolvenKit application. The Menu contains key functionality such as saving, opening files, and building mods. Read below for details about each Menu button. The Menu also displays the current mod project name and file opened with WolvenKit. ### Toolbar The [#toolbar](#toolbar "mention") is available directly below the Menu from the Editor. The buttons add convenience shortcuts to certain menu functions. Additionally, the Toolbar contains the **Launch Profiles** button.
## HOME Shows the WolvenKit [**Home**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/home) view ## File ### New File Opens the dialogue to create a new file. ### Save Save the currently selected document from the File Viewer ### Save As Save the currently selected document from the File Viewer as a new file ### Save All Save all currently open documents from the File Viewer ## Project ### New Project Create a new WolvenKit mod project ### Open Project Open an existing WolvenKit mod project ### Project Configuration Configure various project settings ### Scan project for broken references This will go through every file in your project, checking if **referenced resources** are **in your project** or **part of the base game**. If you are using a texture library, you will obviously get false positives here. ### Scan for unused files The opposite of "Scan project for broken references" — this will check every file in your project and check if it's used by something. Will give you a list that you can copy to clipboard, or options to move/delete the files. {% hint style="danger" %} This feature is experimental, so handle with care! {% endhint %} ### Delete empty folders Will yeet folders without files in them. Works recursively (will also delete empty folder trees). ### Run File Validation on entire project Will run the [Wolvenkit File Validation](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/file-validation) on every file in your project, and open the log file afterwards. \ This will generate a lot of duplicate text, but is the best way to find mistakes. ## Build ### Pack Project Generates the install-ready structure in your project's `packed` folder, then creates a zip file. {% hint style="info" %} The generated zip file is ready for Nexus upload! {% endhint %} ### Pack as REDmod Generates the install-ready structure (REDmod format) in your project's `packed` folder, then creates a zip file. {% hint style="info" %} This option is hidden by default and can be turned on in the [#settings](#settings "mention").

If you do this without an open Wolvenkit project, the view will be saved to the default file `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xml` #### Reset Layout Resets the UI layout to the default from one of the following files (by priority): 1. `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xml` 2. `Path\To\Wolvenkit\DockStatesDefault.xml` This can be especially helpful if the layout is bugged or an editor window is unrecoverable. ## Tools ### Depot Generator Tool for building a `depot`, a collection of extracted game assets to use them in other tools.\ [**Read more**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/tools#depot-generator) ### Sound Modding Tool Tool for modding sound files\ [**Read more**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/tools#sound-modding-tool) ### **Script Manager** Toggles the [#script-manager](#script-manager "mention") ### Import Tool Toggles the [#import-tool](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/tools/tools-import-export#import-tool "mention") ### Export Tool Toggles the [#export-tool](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/tools/tools-import-export#export-tool "mention") ### Settings Open the WolvenKit [**Settings**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/settings) page ## Game ### Launch Game Launches Cyberpunk 2077 ### Launch Game with Steam Launches Cyberpunk 2077 using Steam ### Open Game Folder Opens the Cyberpunk 2077 game directory in Windows Explorer ## Extensions ### Plugin Manager Opens the WolvenKit Plugin Manager #### Mod Manager Opens the WolvenKit Plugin Manager #### Cyberpunk Blender Add-on Opens external-link to the Cyberpunk Blender Add-on GitHub page\ ## Help ### Setting Up WolvenKit Opens an external-link to the [**Setup**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/wolvenkit-app/broken-reference) page ### Creating a Mod Opens an external-link to the [**Creating a Mod**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/getting-started/creating-a-mod) page #### Discord Invitation ### Opens an external-link to a [Discord](https://discord.gg/Epkq79kd96) invitation ### About WolvenKit Opens an external-link to the [**About**](https://wiki.redmodding.org/wolvenkit/about) page ### Open Log Folder Opens the folder with the Wolvenkit Logs --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
