Editor introduction
===================

In this section, we cover the Godot editor in general, from its interface to
using it with the command line.

Editor's interface
------------------

The following pages explain how to use the various windows, workspaces, and
docks that make up the Godot editor. We cover some specific editors' interface
in other sections where appropriate. For example, the :ref:`animation editor
<doc_introduction_animation>`.

XR editor
---------

Godot offers a port of the editor designed to run natively on Meta Quest devices.
The port can be downloaded from the `Meta Horizon Store <https://www.meta.com/experiences/godot-game-engine/7713660705416473/>`__,
or from the `Godot download page <https://godotengine.org/download/preview/>`__.

Android editor
--------------

Godot offers a native port of the editor running entirely on Android devices.
The Android port can be downloaded from the `Android Downloads page <https://godotengine.org/download/android/>`__.
While we strive for feature parity with the Desktop version of the editor,
the Android port has a certain amount of caveats you should be aware of.

Web editor
----------

Godot offers an HTML5 version of the editor running entirely in your browser. No
download is required to use it, but it has a certain amount of caveats you
should be aware of.

Managing editor features
------------------------

Godot allows you to remove features from the editor. This may be useful if you're
an educator trying to ease students into the editor slowly, or if you're working on
a project that's only 2D or only 3D and don't want to see what you don't need.
