Take control of the Blender sidebar with N PANELS PRO. Rename tabs, reorder them, create independent groups per workflow, find anything instantly with a quick-search popup, and export/import all your presets via JSON. Smart updates prevent UI flicker; header buttons keep everything one click away.
- ✔️ Rename & reorder tabs without touching their original categories.
- ✔️ Create groups per workflow: each group keeps its own enabled tabs and ordering; swap between GENERAL and custom sets instantly.
- ✔️ Quick-search popup: live filter, 6-column grid, configurable hotkey (Ctrl/Shift/Alt + key).
- ✔️ Header buttons: popover, group picker, and tab search in the 3D View header.
- ✔️ Export/Import presets: JSON backup of names, order, groups, and visibility to share or restore instantly.
- ✔️ Smart updates: no unnecessary re-registration—renames, ordering, and visibility apply without UI flicker.
3D Artists & Generalists: declutter the N‑Panel and jump to tools faster.
Riggers / Animators: group tabs per stage (rig, anim, cache) and swap contexts cleanly.
TDs / Studios: standardize tab presets across teams; share the JSON and stay consistent.
It’s a micro control panel for the sidebar: rename, reorder, group per workflow, quick-search, export/import presets, and keep smooth updates without flicker.

Live-filter and open any tab in a 6-column grid. Switch groups without closing the popup. Shortcut configurable (Ctrl/Shift/Alt + letter).
Quick Search

Each group remembers which tabs show and in what order. Swap from GENERAL to a custom group without losing layout.

Save names, order, groups, and visibility to JSON. Restore or share your layout in seconds.
