no ADD button in Graph Editor window Octane 2.0

New to Octane, but from what I've read all over the web I should be able to bring OBJ files into Octane 2.0. However, despite tutorials and the Octane Manual instructions to the contrary, I can't get an ADD button to show up by right clicking in the Graph Editor window. Instead, a menu opens that has an IMPORT option, but that in turn leads to a file selecting window that sees only OCS, OCM, or ORBX file types. How can I get ahold of an OBJ file to bring it into Octane 2.0?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Right Click / Geometry / Mesh

And if you wanted to import an Alembic file you would choose Scene instead of Mesh.

Keep in mind you will then need to add a Render Target node and plug your geometry nodes into that.
