Dockable Panels

Studio's panels — Hierarchy, Scene, Inspector, Asset Browser, Profiler, Output — live in a dockspace you can freely rearrange, the same way you would in VSCode, Unreal, or Unity.


Rearranging panels

Drag a panel's tab by its title to move it:

  • Drop in the center of another panel to combine them as tabs in the same slot.
  • Drop near an edge (top/bottom/left/right) of a panel to split that area and dock alongside it.
  • Drop near the outer edge of the whole window to split the entire layout on that side.
  • Drop away from any panel to float it in its own window — drag it back onto the layout to re-dock.

A translucent highlight shows exactly where a panel will land before you let go.


Tabs, closing, and floating

Panels that share a dock slot show as tabs along its header, just like document tabs. Most panels can be closed with the on their tab (shown on hover, or always for the active tab); Hierarchy and Scene are always present and can't be closed this way, but can still be dragged elsewhere or tabbed together with other panels.

Closed or floated-away panels aren't gone for good — see View below.


The View menu

View lists every panel with a Show/Hide toggle, so you can bring back anything you've closed without hunting for it, plus:

  • Reset Layout — discards your current arrangement and rebuilds the default one (also available in Turian ▸ Settings).
  • Capture Screenshot — unchanged from before.

Your layout is remembered

Studio saves your panel arrangement automatically whenever it changes, and restores it the next time you open Studio — a machine-wide preference (not tied to a specific project, since it's about how you like to work). If the saved layout can't be read (missing, corrupted, or from an incompatible version), Studio quietly falls back to the default arrangement instead of failing to start.
