# Play Mode & Edit Mode

With mtion, your world is always just one click away from either playing or editing. Toggle between **Play Mode** and **Edit Mode** instantly to suit whatever you’re doing—exploring your creation or fine-tuning it.

Engage with your world exactly as your players will:

* **Explore & Interact**\
  Walk, run, jump, and trigger all the objects, puzzles, and events you’ve built.
* **Multiplayer Support**\
  Invite friends to join your experience, see their avatars, and chat in real time.
* **Live Testing**\
  Quickly verify logic chains, camera cuts, and audio cues without leaving Play Mode.

### Edit Mode

Design, customize, and iterate on the fly—even while your world is live:

* **Real-Time Updates**\
  Any change you make—moving a prop, tweaking a light, adding logic—pushes instantly to your published experience.
* **God’s-Eye View**\
  Watch players wander, interact, and chat in real time while you’ve got the full editor open. Perfect for Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, or live streamers who want to guide gameplay as it unfolds.
* **Seamless Publishing**\
  Jump back into Edit Mode at any time—even on a published, multiplayer world—and your adjustments take effect immediately for every player.

***

**One world. Two views.**\
Whether you’re play-testing your latest build or crafting new mechanics mid-session, mtion’s modes keep you in the flow—no reloads, no context switches, just pure, uninterrupted creation and play.
