We’re introducing updates in Studio for creating UI like buttons, menus, and other 2D elements. Here’s what’s new:

⭐ **Added UI ‘Presets’:** One click to add common UI elements, including text, images, buttons, and 2D frames  
🎨 **Improved UI configuration:** Intuitively fine-tune your design with expanded visual configuration options  
⚡ **Live text editing:** Modify text and 2D elements in real-time within the Viewport  
➕ **Build compound 2D elements:** Combine multiple elements together in the hierarchy to create more complex and dynamic UI
