Enabling Developer Mode

Construct 3's Developer Mode enables extra testing features for developers, such as a special addon testing mode.

To enable Developer Mode, open Construct 3's settings dialog and click or tap the dialog caption 10 times. A prompt will appear asking if you want to show developer mode settings. Click OK.

Now in the settings dialog there should be a checkbox named Enable developer mode. Tick the checkbox, close the settings dialog and restart Construct 3. You are now using Developer Mode.

The developer mode menu

When Developer Mode is active, a new menu named Developer mode appears in the main menu. This provides some shortcuts and tools useful in developer mode, such as a shortcut to install a developer mode addon, or set up TypeScript for an addon.
