# Configure 2D Physics Core scenes

> Share and pin the properties of 2D Physics Core components, and configure global properties.

Share and pin the properties of 2D Physics Core components, and configure global properties.

> **Note:**
>
> This documentation is about using Pose, Area, and Constraint components. To use 2D physics in the Unity Editor using components like the Rigidbody 2D component, refer to [2D physics](/engine/6000.7/manual/unity2d/2d-physics.md.md) instead.
