Unreal Engine version 5.6 introduced a brand new User Interface for the Viewport that transformed the toolbar completely, and to be honest it can be totally confusing! In this video we're going to go over the new UI and compare it to the old version. By the end of this video you should be an expert with the new Viewport UI update and have no more confusion on where to find things.
You'll see in the video that we are able to swap between the old and new toolbars using the following console commands:
ToolMenusViewportToolbars 0 - Old Version
ToolMenusViewportToolbars 1 - Both Versions
ToolMenusViewportToolbars 2 - New Version
To make this switching even easier, I built an Editor Utility Widget to make rapid swapping a simple button click. You can download the tool for free below:
