# Expanding DVE Layer Objects with Re-entry

After you link DVE Layer Objects using re-entry to replace front clips, matte clips, or both, you can expand the linked DVE Layer Objects to reveal all of their components (including front and matte source nodes).

To expand DVE Layer Objects with re-entry:

1. In the schematic, select the DVE Layer Object with re-entry applied to it.
2. Click Expand DVE.

   The schematic displays the expanded scene. Notice the green duplicate links originating from the hidden objects in the DVE_L1 branch.
