# Position units in Editor

You can position any units in your scene right from the Editor with these simple steps!

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Add" %}
Add <mark style="color:blue;">**EditorFormationPlacement**</mark> component to your scene, either manually or use ***"TRavljen/Add Editor Formation Placement"*** menu option.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Configure" %}
Now use the placement component to set up desired configurations and **most** importantly make sure to add the units you want to control.

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Start placing" %}
Once units are connected, simply move the editor game object and rotate it to find the best place for it. You can either have a **gizmos** preview of the formation, or keep Gizmos disabled to have realtime formation updates for your controlled units.

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

After set up you can move your units in scene, save it and they will remain there when you return. :sunglasses:
