# Introduction to the Unity Studio Importer package

> Learn about the Unity Studio Importer package and how the Unity Editor import process works.

[Unity](https://unity.com/products/unity-engine) is a development platform that provides a wide range of tools and features that allow you to create applications and games. With the Unity Studio Importer package, you can import your Unity Studio drafts into the Unity Editor, which allows you to take advantage of its capabilities for further development and customization.

Refer to [Import Unity Studio drafts into the Unity Editor](/unity-studio/studio-importer/studio-importer-instructions.md) for detailed instructions on how to set up and use the package.

## What the exported draft contains  

When you use this package to export a Unity Studio draft and import it into the Unity Editor, the process:

* Preserves your draft's scene hierarchy.
* Adds draft assets to the **Project** window, including 3D models, materials, textures, and logic assets.
* Converts Unity Studio [Logic scripts](/unity-studio/develop/logic/.md) to C# scripts.

This helps you continue to work with your draft in the Unity workflow but keep the structure and content of your draft intact.

## Uses for the Unity Studio Importer package

The Unity Studio Importer package lets you import your Unity Studio drafts into the Unity Editor, which can be useful in the following scenarios:

* [Deploy to additional platforms](#deploy-to-additional-platforms)
* [Advanced customization](#advanced-customization)
* [Extend with custom Unity workflows](#extend-with-custom-unity-workflows)
* [Access your draft directly in the Unity Editor](#access-your-draft-directly-in-the-unity-editor)

### Deploy to additional platforms

After you import a draft, you can prepare builds for platforms like Android, iOS, PC, Mac, and consoles. The platform support depends on your Unity setup. This gives you more options to adapt a Unity Studio draft for distribution outside a browser-based experience.

### Advanced customization

The Unity Studio Importer package allows developers to work on the draft for further, more-advanced customization. Once the draft is in the Unity Editor, a developer can work directly with the imported assets, scene hierarchy, and generated C# scripts.

Developers can use these converted scripts to extend functionality, add integrations, refine interactions, or implement features that require custom code.

### Extend with custom Unity workflows

You might use this package when you want to extend your experience with custom Unity workflows, tools, or scripts. For example, you can:

* Integrate [Unity packages](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Packages.html) to add new features or tools to your project.
* Build [custom editor tools](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/extending-the-editor.html) to optimize your workflow or add new capabilities for working with your project.
* Add [analytics](/analytics.md) to track user behavior and engagement.
* Create [platform-specific behaviors](https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/PlatformSpecific.html) to optimize the experience for different platforms.
* Optimize performance with the [Unity Profiler](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Profiler.html) and [Frame Debugger](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/FrameDebugger.html).

### Access your draft directly in the Unity Editor

When you import a Unity Studio draft into the Unity Editor, Unity provides direct access to your draft's structure, assets, and logic inside the Unity Editor. You can:

* Inspect imported models, materials, textures, and scripts.
* Reorganize content in the **Project** window
* Use Unity's standard editing and debugging tools to make changes.

This is especially useful when you need more direct control over how to manage and develop your draft's content.
