Data Tree

The Data Tree is located on the left side of the screen, showing the data you use for the current project in groups. You can control each data visibility by clicking its icon in the tree or change its transparency by moving its slider.

🔎Note
Data grouping will vary depending on the step you are working in and its goals.


Right-click the data or data group to see the context menu for more data control.
