# 🖥️ Editor Window Overview

The EazyPrefs Editor Window is your central hub for managing all PlayerPrefs and EditorPrefs in your project — no code required.

It gives you full visibility and control over your stored data in a clean, powerful UI. Whether you're debugging prefs, editing values, creating new keys, or toggling encryption, everything can be done right from this one tool.

# 🚀 Opening the Editor

You can open the EazyPrefs Editor Window by navigating to Window > Hellmade Games > EazyPrefs

If no config exists yet, you'll be prompted to initialize one. This is required for the tool to function.
(Refer to Getting Started for setup instructions.)

# 🔎 What You’ll See

The Editor Window is divided into three main tabs:

# 1. Player Prefs

Displays all stored PlayerPrefs. You can filter, sort, edit, encrypt/compress, or delete them directly.

# 2. Editor Prefs

Same functionality, but for Unity's EditorPrefs. Ideal for editor tooling and dev-side configurations.

Be careful when modifying Unity or third-party prefs

Modifying or deleting Unity or third-party package EditorPrefs is strongly discouraged.
Doing so may cause unexpected behavior or break internal functionality in the Unity Editor or those packages.

Only modify EditorPrefs you explicitly created and recognize.

EditorPrefs are shared across projects

Unity stores all EditorPrefs in a shared location on your machine.
This means the list shown here includes prefs from every Unity project, not just the one currently open.

# 3. Settings

Project-wide EazyPrefs configuration.
Here you can define encryption passwords, toggle default behaviors (like auto-encrypt new prefs), import/export, and customize UI options.

# 🔍 Browsing Prefs

Each Prefs tab includes:

A toolbar with control options (see below)
A list of all prefs in that category
Each pref is expandable to reveal its current value and options (edit, reset, delete, etc.)

# 🔽 Expanding a Pref

Each pref in the list can be expanded by clicking it. When expanded, you'll see:

The current value of the pref (editable for supported types)
Buttons to:
- Toggle encryption
- Toggle compression
- Refresh the displayed value
- Reset to default value
- Set value to null (for reference types)

This gives you full control over a pref without needing to write or execute any code.

Value in the expanded pref is handled and drawn by Pref drawers. Refer to Pref drawers for more information on how they work, or to implement your own custom drawers.

Encrypted or compressed prefs will automatically be decrypted and decompressed for display and editing.

The toolbar (top-right of each prefs tab) gives you quick access to key features:

Add new pref
Filter by pref type
Toggle Unity-defined prefs (show/hide)
Toggle sorting options
Watch for changes (auto-refresh)
Force manual refresh
Delete all prefs (with confirmation)

Deleting all prefs is irreversible. Make sure you back up or export any critical data before doing so.

# ✨ Why Use the Editor?

Instantly inspect all saved prefs
Quickly debug and edit values in real-time
Toggle encryption and compression visually
Organize your data with filtering and sorting
Easily spot issues like invalid types or unused keys

Changes made in the editor are applied immediately to Unity's internal storage (PlayerPrefs/EditorPrefs).
They're safe, fast, and version control-friendly.
