Editors

Blender provides a number of different editors for displaying and modifying different aspects of data.

The Editor Type selector, the first button at the left side of a header, allows you to change the editor in that area. Every area in Blender may contain any type of editor and it is also possible to open the same type multiple times.

See User Interface for documentation on the general interface.
