Unity Cloud Collaboration Tools

About Unity Cloud Collaboration Tools

Unity Cloud Collaboration Tools adds ready-to-use collaboration UI features to the Unity Editor. These features let you discuss your project where your work happens: on scenes, GameObjects, and project assets. You can:

  • Create comment threads anchored to a location in a scene, to a GameObject, or to a project asset
  • See comment bubbles in the Scene View exactly where your teammates left them
  • Reply to threads, mention teammates and assets, and add hashtags
  • Attach images, place spatial markers, and draw sketches to illustrate your point
  • Track what's new with unread indicators, and keep the list tidy by resolving finished discussions

Everything runs inside the Editor. Your comments are stored in your Unity Cloud project, so everyone who opens the project sees the same discussions.

Key features

Comment threads

Threads are the core of the collaboration workflow. Each thread starts with a comment on a specific target (a spot in a scene, a GameObject, or a project asset) and collects replies underneath it.

  • Create threads from the Scene View, the Hierarchy, the Project window, or the Collaboration window
  • Browse threads for the active scene or for the whole project, and narrow the list down to a single asset
  • Filter threads by resolution state, and resolve them when the discussion is done

Learn more starting with Comment on a location in your scene.

Comment bubbles

Threads anchored in a scene show up as round comment bubbles at the exact spot where you created them, carrying the author's avatar. Select a bubble to read and join the discussion without leaving the Scene View.

See Comment bubbles in the Scene View.

Mentions and rich comments

Type @ to mention a teammate or link an asset, and # to add a hashtag. Mentions render as links; selecting an asset mention highlights that asset in your project.

See Reply to threads and mention people.

Attachments and sketches

Add context to any comment:

  • Image attachments: Attach screenshots or reference images
  • Spatial markers: Pinpoint an exact 3D position in the scene
  • Sketches: Draw directly over the Scene View or over an asset preview, with configurable brush size, color, and opacity

See Attach files and spatial markers and Draw sketches.
