Build a custom inspector in Unity by inheriting from the Editor class and using EditorGUILayout controls with SerializedProperty to ensure proper serialization and undo support. This skill provides lifecycle patterns and templates to accelerate this process.

The best way to create an EditorWindow in Unity is by using IMGUI lifecycle patterns and scaffolding. This skill offers templates for EditorWindow development, allowing you to quickly build editor extensions with proper layout controls.

SerializedProperty works in property drawers by exposing serialized data to the IMGUI system without requiring direct C# object access, ensuring changes are properly recorded by Unity's undo system. This skill demonstrates best practices for implementing these drawers.

Yes, you can use IMGUI Handles to customize the Unity Scene view for editor-only workflows. This skill provides examples for integrating Handles with EditorGUILayout tools to build interactive scene view customization and editor extensions.

Yes, this IMGUI approach fully supports Unity's undo system. By utilizing SerializedProperty within your custom inspectors and EditorWindows, all modifications are automatically registered by the undo system, ensuring robust editor tooling.

Use property drawers in Unity when you need to customize the rendering of specific serializable types across multiple inspectors, whereas custom inspectors are used for specific MonoBehaviour components. This skill covers both patterns with examples.
