### Adding Objects to the Workspace

#### There are 3 ways in which it is possible to add objects to your workspace:

{% hint style="info" %}
By default Atlas will auto-increment the spatial ID with each additional object.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

#### Import from DS100

When online Atlas will allow you to import objects as presented within the DS100. Any names will be preserved and imported from the live device.&#x20;

#### Import from File

Please see [Import from File ](https://help.atlas-control.app/show-settings/spaces/import-from-file-ds100-mode)

#### Add Object

Allows spatial audio objects to be manually added to the Atlas Workspace.  By default these objects will be named "Spatial ID X".

{% hint style="warning" %}
Atlas w[ill warn the user when two objects share the same spatial ID with the following error message: ](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
