I want to know the difference between MajorTab, PanelTab, NomadTab and DocumentTab. I can’t find any relevant information online …

Hi there :slight_smile:
I don’t have much experience with this, but I did some research and this is what I found:

  • MajorTab: A MajorTab is the highest level of a tab, and typically represents a top-level section of the Editor UI, such as the Modes panel or the World Outliner. MajorTabs can contain multiple PanelTabs.
  • PanelTab: A PanelTab is a tab that contains a panel of content, such as the Details panel or the Content Browser. PanelTabs can be contained within MajorTabs, other PanelTabs, or NomadTabs.
  • NomadTab: A NomadTab is a standalone tab that can be used to hold content that doesn’t fit into the hierarchy of the MajorTab/PanelTab system. NomadTabs can be used to hold editors for assets or other types of content.
  • DocumentTab: A DocumentTab is a type of PanelTab that is used to display a document-style editor for a specific asset or resource, such as a material or blueprint. DocumentTabs typically have a single instance per asset/resource, and can be docked or undocked from the Editor UI.
