The Scheme Explorer is used to navigate through all Scheme Managers found in all of your Extensions to minimize switching tabs constantly when applying finishes. You do not need to be in a particular component tab to be able to option out products from that tab. 

From any Scheme Manager, click on the Scheme Explorer icon:

All Extensions have cards showing the number of Scheme Managers that can be found in it:

  Back

Click the blue return arrow to go back to the Scheme Explorer home or to the Scheme you were last in.

 Recent Schemes

Up to 6 cards of the most recent Scheme Managers you have visited are stored here so that it is easy for you to return to your work. Just click one of the cards to return to that Scheme Manager.

 All Schemes

All Extensions you have installed that contain Schemes have cards here and show the number of Scheme managers included. Click on the name of the Extension to see all Schemes inside.

When you click on a card, you will see cards for all associated Scheme Managers and a path shows at the top to track which cards you took to get to your current location:

 Import/Export

Import or Export Schemes from multiple Extensions and Scheme Managers at once. 

Export

When you export from the Scheme Explorer, you will prompted to check the boxes of the Schemes you want to include in your .cmScheme file. The list includes all Schemes that you have made during the current session of CET Designer:

This is different from Saving in a specific Scheme Manager because you can save multiple Schemes at once instead of just the current selected one.

Import

When importing a .cmScheme file through the Scheme Explorer, all cards containing a Scheme included will turn yellow to signify that a Scheme has been imported in that Manager:

The cards will remain yellow until you click on the card to see the imported Scheme.

Once you are in the Scheme Manager, the tab of the imported Scheme will also be the pale yellow color until you click it:
