After downloading the latest 5.1 version of the Unreal Datasmith Exporter for 3ds Max plug-in from EPIC and installing it, I did not see the Datasmith format in my 3dmax2023 export option. Is there something wrong? Or can only use the form of direct link after Datasmith?

Hi !

We changed the workflow in 5.1 to match our other plugins.
