Objects and their properties are displayed in the Tracking panel according to Tracker's AutoSave behavior (see [Tracker fundamentals](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker42/pages/258310557)).  

For further control of each object in the Objects list in the Tracking panel, right-click one or more objects to display a context menu. This enables you to use these options:

- **Rename**: Enables you to rename the selected object. You can also double-click to rename or select the object and press F2 or change its name in the **Object** field.
- **Remove**: Removes the selected object(s) from the tracking list.
- **Enable**: Activates the selected object(s).
- **Disable**: Deactivates the selected object(s).
- **Export**: Exports the object as a .*vsk* file with the name you have given the object. By default, objects are exported to *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\Objects*, but the dialog box enables you to save to any location. You can change the default location within the preferences (see [Preferences options](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker42/pages/258310593)).
- **Use for Camera Calibration** Enables you to use a custom calibration object. See [Create a custom calibration object](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Tracker42/pages/258310487).
