Document location — location of the document. It can be a local file, a shared network file or a web reference, for example:

Document format — specifies how to interpret the data stored in the file. As specified above the format is detected automatically, but you can select it manually.

Force read-only mode — locks the document for editing.

Save file to disk before opening — this option becomes available if a web reference has been specified in the Document location. Saves the remote file to the local disk before opening it.

If there are several sequences in the document, then selecting the Separate sequences option will open several sequences in a Sequence View window. Contrariwise, selecting the Merge sequences option will merge the sequences into one sequence. The Gap length parameter specifies the length of the gaps inserted between the merged sequences. Your choice will be saved as default if you check the Save as default settings check box.

Note that if you select to merge the sequences, then the annotations of the sequences if any are also relocated automatically.
