The editor at a glance
What every panel does, and the shortcuts worth learning on day one.
6 min readLayout
- Left — the hierarchy: scenes, and the entities inside the current one. Click to select, drag to reorder.
- Centre — the canvas, or the graph, depending on the tab.
- Right — the inspector. It always shows whatever is selected.
- Top — scene switcher, play, history and publish.
Both side panels collapse. On a narrow screen they become drawers, so the editor is usable on a tablet.

The graph tools
Above the graph there are two tools: Select and Pan. Select drags nodes and draws a marquee over empty space; Pan moves the view without disturbing anything. Holding Space temporarily switches to Pan whichever tool is active.
