Summary
In the MetaHuman Character editor, the METAHUMAN CHARACTER DATA section of the MetaHuman Character menu is missing several entries. Only “Save Face Textures”, “Take High Res Screenshot” and “Authentication” appear. The following entries, which are present in the official 5.8 documentation and in third-party tutorials for this same engine version, do not appear at all: “Export Face Skeletal Mesh”, “Export Body Skeletal Mesh”, “Export Combined Skel Mesh”, “Save Face DNA”, “Save Body DNA”.

Steps to Reproduce
Open Unreal Engine 5.8.2.
Create a new MetaHuman Character asset (tested on both a pre-existing asset and a freshly created one, with the same result).
Customize the body/head as desired.
Run Create Full Rig.
Run Assemble.
Open the MetaHuman Character menu at the top of the editor.
Observe the METAHUMAN CHARACTER DATA section.
Expected Result
The METAHUMAN CHARACTER DATA section should list: Export Face Skeletal Mesh, Export Body Skeletal Mesh, Export Combined Skel Mesh, Save Face DNA, Save Body DNA, Save Face Textures, Take High Res Screenshot, Authentication — as shown in Epic’s own “Creating your MetaHuman in Unreal Engine” documentation page for 5.8.
Observed Result
Only Save Face Textures, Take High Res Screenshot and Authentication appear. The five other entries are completely absent from the menu, both before and after running Create Full Rig and Assemble.
