Add Buttons and Menus to the Toolbar in Unreal Engine 5 | UE5 Editor Tutorial #unrealengine5
In this Unreal Engine 5 tutorial, we expand on our previous video about **adding custom editor toolbar buttons** — this time exploring **advanced toolbar options**, including **submenus, editor actions, and level-opening commands**. ⚙️
If you’ve ever wanted to streamline your workflow with tools that let you **open maps, trigger functions, or organize commands** right from the toolbar, this video will show you how!
🤗 Editor Icons:

🧩 **In This Tutorial:**
✅ Creating submenus in the UE5 toolbar
✅ Binding editor actions and commands
✅ Setting up buttons to open specific levels
✅ Structuring your tool modules cleanly for scaling
✅ Tips for safe editor scripting and plugin organization
By the end, you’ll have a fully functional **custom toolbar system** that can run commands, spawn widgets, or even control your project’s editor features — all from a single, neatly organized dropdown.
