u-0700 Unity Editor
The Unity Editor is your window into the Unity tools for creating and editing scenes. When we first opened unity we see it in the default ;Layout. This is the basic Unity layout. The user can easily modify the layout to meet the needs of the project they are working on. Once a new layout has been created it can easily be saved and used in any future project. See Windows -> Layout.

Panels
The default layout has six panels.
u-0710 Hierarchy Panel
The scene view Panel
The inspector panel
The project panel
The control Panel
The game view panel
While you’re in unity working on a project and you have your panels showing the current scene you are in you can search for data by using a search bar above the control panel. When you type in the definition that you want to look for it will find all objects that match that definition for example if you’re looking for a script it will show you all of the scripts. Once you find the script you want and you drag it to the object you want it attached to you can simply move to the end of the search bar and press the small X which will clear the search bar and return you to your previous panel display.
