7s Hello.
8s Welcome to the Age of Empires IV guide to customizing
11s your Content Editor.
14s There's a few things you can do to modify
17s how the editor looks and feels to match how you work.
21s The first way is to resize a panel. To resize any panel,
28s hover your mouse over the border.
30s Click and drag.
33s Here we've just resized the render view
36s making much bigger so we have more room to work.
40s Second way is if you have any panels
43s you don't think you're going to need,
45s you can close them.
47s To close a panel,
48s go to the top right hand corner of it
50s and click the X button or the hide book.
52s Boom. Now it's gone.
55s To get any panel that you closed back.
57s You can go up to View
59s and you'll find a list
60s of all the panels you can possibly close.
63s There's a few more under scenario as well.
66s In this case, we closed the error list,
69s so let's get it back.
70s Go here, click the error list.
72s And now it's back
76s The third way is to minimize something.
79s To minimize the panel,
80s you can go to the top right hand corner and click
83s the little pin icon or the auto hide
86s If you click that, the panel
88s will minimize. To access a minimized panel,
91s you can have your mouse over it and it'll expand it.
95s And to revert it back to its normal place,
99s you can simply go to the top right hand corner,
101s click the pin icon again, and you'll restore it
104s to its previous size and position.
107s The fourth and final way of modifying
110s your editor is to dock and undock a panel.
113s This allows you to move any panel
116s anywhere else you want in the editor.
119s To do that, click on the
123s bar at the top of the panel and hold it.
127s And now you can move your mouse
129s and you'll notice that is now free floating.
133s And wherever you hover your mouse,
134s you'll notice a widget will appear, allowing you to see
138s a preview of where it will put the panel
141s whenever you release the button.
144s So in this case, let's move
145s the object browser to the right hand side.
148s Let's hover over here and then release.
151s And now we have an object browser
154s on the right hand side.
157s So once you have all your panels where you think you want them,
162s you can save any of your layouts by going up to window
165s and pressing save window layout.
168s It'll prompt you to name your new layout.
169s Let's name this 'Layout1'.
174s Press Okay.
175s And now this will be saved in the system.
177s No matter what map you have open, you can always access
181s your list of saved windows by going to apply window layout.
185s You'll find a list of everything you've saved.
190s Pressing Manage Window Layouts will open up a window
192s where you can delete or rename
196s any window that you've saved.
199s And finally,
201s pressing reset window layout will reset
203s all your windows back to the default settings.
207s If you click this, it will prompt you.
209s You can say yes,
211s and then everything will be reverted back to when you first
214s open the editor.
215s Now, notice that your map is no longer showing.
219s This is because it also deloaded your map.
222s To get your map back
223s simply go over to your asset explorer, find your .scenario
226s file, click it and drag it back onto your map.
230s It will reload your map
234s once it's done loading,
236s it will appear the way it did
239s when you first opened the editor.
241s Okay. Well, that's it.
243s Thanks for listening and happy modding.
