What is the Menu?
The Menu is the main navigation bar at the top of the WolvenKit application. The Menu contains key functionality such as saving, opening files, and building mods. Read below for details about each Menu button. The Menu also displays the current mod project name and file opened with WolvenKit.

Build
Pack Project
Generates the install-ready structure in your project's packed folder, then creates a zip file.
The generated zip file is ready for Nexus upload!
Pack as REDmod
Generates the install-ready structure (REDmod format) in your project's packed folder, then creates a zip file.
As a rule of thumb, you generally don't want this. Vortex can auto-convert to REDMod on install. Packing your mod in the legacy format will save work for those people who don't want to use REDMod.
Install
Runs Pack Project, then copies the contents of packed to your game directory.
Tegacy mods will load before REDmods. Within a category, load order is determined by file name.
Install as REDmod

Save Layout to Project
Saves the Editor UI layout to the current WolvenKit project, making it persistent across sessions.
If you do this without an open Wolvenkit project, the view will be saved to the default file %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xml
Reset Layout
Resets the UI layout to the default from one of the following files (by priority):
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\REDModding\WolvenKit\DockStates.xmlPath\To\Wolvenkit\DockStatesDefault.xml
This can be especially helpful if the layout is bugged or an editor window is unrecoverable.
