Hats enables the concept of workspaces in Unity.

⛑️ Workspaces

Workspaces are a bit similar to layouts – but way more powerful!

By switching workspaces, the Editor can be made to load a specialised layout, open one or more scenes, hide or lock objects in the open scene, hide specific components, and more. Third-party tools can be made to work differently. And you can create custom behaviour as a result of a workspace switch.

You can switch to a workspace at any moment to customise the appearance or the behaviour of the Editor according to the task you are performing.

👉🏻 For instance:

One could have workspaces for Level Design, Cinematics, Testing...

• When the Level Design workspace becomes active, it loads the main game scene and hides some components.
• When the Testing workspace is activated, it loads the Initialisation scene, so the developer can immediately enter Play Mode and test the game from the main menu.
• When Cinematics loads, it opens the main scene

Hats can make the Unity Editor more streamlined, so you get focus – whichever hat you're wearing at the moment 🎩

But that's not all...

👫 Teams

In addition to workspaces, Teams can be used to group Editor users, using their Unity ID (i.e. their email). If a user is signed in and their email is listed as a user of a Hats Team, they are part of that Team, and that Team's workspace becomes enabled for them. This happens as soon as the Editor is launched.

This allows to auto-enable a workspace for users of a certain team.

👷🏼‍♂️ Build your own Hats-powered tools

In addition to the built-in functionalities, Hats provides a host of public API to query the current state of workspaces and Teams. This allows you to create smart tools that provide a tailored experienced to their users.
