Building custom inspectors is one of Odin’s core benefits and it can greatly help you streamline your development workflow and improve productivity.
Custom inspectors in Unity are essential for enhancing the usability and clarity of your components in the Editor. By organizing fields, adding custom controls, and hiding or highlighting specific properties, you can create a more intuitive workflow for yourself and your team. This not only speeds up development but also reduces errors and makes your tools more accessible to non-programmers.
