Unreal Studio retirement and features going free in UE 4.24

Hi. I’m struggling to find the Datasmith import tool in UnReal 2.24. Has that button moved? I can only find documentation online regarding Datasmith and UnReal 4.23, where Datasmith was found between “Settings” and “Blueprints”. Now it’s gone. I’ve looked in the typical UnReal “Import” tool but there is no Datasmith file format available there. Where can I find Datasmith in UnReal 2.24??

EDIT - Anyone with this problem, go to settings and plugins. Search for Importers and “enable” Datasmith

For further clarity, Datasmith is automatically enabled for certain types of projects, when newly created in 4.24. For other types of projects, or older ones converted to 4.24, go to Edit > Plugins > Importers, and enable the desired Datasmith components.
