# OnEnteringEditModeAttribute

> Marks a static method as a callback to be invoked when the Editor enters Edit mode.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.Scripting.LifecycleManagement](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityeditor/scripting/lifecyclemanagement.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule
* **Inherits from:** [LifecycleAttributeBase](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unity/scripting/lifecyclemanagement/lifecycleattributebase.md)

```csharp
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class OnEnteringEditModeAttribute : LifecycleAttributeBase
```

## Remarks

Methods marked with this attribute are called when entering Edit mode. This happens:

* After exiting Play mode in the Editor.
* After code reload in Edit mode.

Use this callback to:

* Initialize Editor-specific systems and UI.
* Restore Edit mode state.
* Set up Edit mode data structures.

This is a method attribute that can only be applied to `static` methods with no parameters and return type `void`.
