Layout and Extensions

Each of the tabs in your scene editor (Scene Graph, Asset Browser, Components, Material Editor, etc.) are called Extensions. And the way they are organized in the scene editor is called the Layout.

Move extensions around

To customize your layout you can move around the extensions by grabbing the extension’s tab and drag it to where you want it to be.
