State Machines & Timelines Open as Horizontal Tabs

State Machines and Timelines now open as horizontal tabs above the Animation panel — easy to switch between.

State Machines and Timelines now open as horizontal tabs above the Animation panel area, in the bottom half of the editor.

What Changed?

You can keep several State Machines or Timelines open side by side as tabs. Click any tab to switch back to that view instantly. The tabs sit right above the Animation panel (the layer list at the bottom), not at the very top of the editor.

What This Means for You

Lessons that bounce between multiple State Machines or Timelines feel more fluid now. You can keep your work in progress visible across tabs instead of losing your place when you switch.
