Editor Windows and Layouts in Unity

Unity is our main development tool for this course, so getting familiar with its features is essential before we embark on our VR development journey. The Unity Editor might initially seem overwhelming due to the large number of tabs, boxes, options, and windows. It can be difficult to know where to start and how to navigate the Editor. In this lesson, we’ll provide a tour of the main features of the Unity Editor to help you get familiar with its layout and functionality.

Editor windows

The Unity Editor consists of various windows, some of which are shown in the following snapshot. The position and number of windows might vary depending on the version or layout of the editor, but the functions of these components remain the same. In other words, even if the appearance of the editor changes, the purpose of these windows and their functionality will remain unchanged.
