You can author runtime UI directly in Unity’s main editor environment, using the Hierarchy window, Scene view, and Inspector window alongside dedicated UI authoring windows. This workflow is an alternative to working in the standalone UI Builder.
Note: In-scene UI authoring is for runtime UI only. To create UI for the Unity Editor, use UI Builder.
