Customization

You can customize Studio to suit your workflow across various levels:

  • Customize the window layout to best suit your workflows.
  • View/edit Studio shortcuts and bind actions without defaults through File ⟩ Customize Shortcuts.
  • Access a wide array of Studio Settings (AltS on Windows; S on Mac). Locate known settings by typing keywords into the search field at the top of the window, for example theme to locate the setting for dark theme or light theme.

Updates

In contrast to certain other engines, every game runs on the latest version of the Roblox engine. You should keep Studio up‑to‑date to utilize the latest APIs and features.

If your current version of Studio is outdated, you'll see an Update button in the upper‑right corner. Clicking the button will prompt you to save/close the currently open place so that Studio can automatically update and restart.
