			While Eden Editor is based on the good old 2D Editor, there are some major differences.
			Apart from the obvious addition of the 3D view, many new features were introduced or improved, while a few other, less important ones, had to be discontinued.

	== Placing Entities ==		== Placing Entities ==
	~~To place an entity in 2D editor, you first had to select an editing mode (e.g., Objects), then double-click in the map and select type in the attributes window.~~

	In ~~the~~ Eden Editor, the order is different. You first pick a type from the Asset Browser (e.g., Rifleman in Objects) and then simply click ~~'''Left Mouse Button'''~~ in the view to place the new entity. Holding ~~'''Ctrl'''~~ while clicking will let you place multiple entities of the same type in a row.

			In Eden Editor, the order is different. You first pick a type from the Asset Browser (e.g., Rifleman in Objects) and then simply click {{Controls\|LMB}} in the view to place the new entity.
			Holding {{Controls\|ctrl}} while clicking will let you place multiple entities of the same type in a row.


	== Logics and Modules ==		== Logics and Modules ==
	~~Logics and Modules are now grouped together under systems. Their icons were tweaked to make them easily recognizable.~~

	== Groups Mode==		Logics and Modules are now grouped together under systems. Their icons were tweaked to make them easily recognisable.
	Groups (F2) were renamed to '''Compositions''' and apart from infantry or tank formations, you can also find composition of props there. Perfect when you want to quickly build a camp or an outpost.

			While placing waypoints from the Waypoints (F4) list is still possible, you can also hold {{Controls\|ctrl}} and press {{Controls\|RMB}} to quickly add a waypoint.


	== Attaching Waypoints ==		== Attaching Waypoints ==
	When you place a waypoint on another object, it will be attached to it. While in 2D Editor there was no way how to detach it afterwards, you can now simply drag it away from the object. Dragging the waypoint back onto the object will attach it again.

	== ~~Synchronization~~ ==		When you place a waypoint on another object, it will be attached to it. While in 2D Editor there was no way how to detach it afterwards, you can now simply drag it away from the object.
