Frequently asked questions

Does Cgp: Editor Switch work with Blender 4.3?

Cgp: Editor Switch lists support for Blender 4.0 and above, with the developer naming versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 specifically. So Blender 4.3 is covered, along with the earlier 4.x releases in that range. The add-on is also marked as Blender Extension compatible. If you run a newer build than those listed, check the developer's page for current version support before installing, since the versions named here reflect what was documented at publication rather than every possible release you might be running.

Is Cgp: Editor Switch a Blender extension?

Cgp: Editor Switch is distributed as a Blender add-on and is marked as Blender Extension compatible on its listing. That means it fits Blender's add-on framework and the Extensions system used in recent 4.x releases. It belongs to the developer's CG Pies collection of custom menus, and this particular one focuses on switching between editors along with a handful of interface toggles. Documentation is available. For exact installation steps, refer to the developer's page and the included documentation.

The add-on comes from Chaitanya's Store and is part of the developer's CG Pies collection. For the full terms of the license, any redistribution details, and the latest information, check the developer's page directly rather than relying on a summary here.
