Combo Panel

Combo Panel is a place where you can find all Zen UV operators. Operators are divided into thematic sections on the left side.

The set of operators in the Combo Panel may vary depending on the context. Some operators do not work in UV Editor and present in 3D Viewport only.

It’s on the N-Panel and you can customize the appearance of panels in Preferences.
