The UI Editor consists of the following:

2. Hierarchy pane – List of UI elements that you create

3. UI canvas tab bar – Tabbed display of open canvases

4. Viewport – Display of the UI elements on the current UI canvas

Note
You can tear away and redock the Hierarchy pane, the Properties pane, the Animation Editor, and sections of the toolbar to customize the UI Editor.
