Hello, I created a Unity project and set up the whole 3d world to introduce Magic Leap. So, after that I have been following this tutorial: [Magic Leap 2 | Building your First Unity OpenXR App](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnYDCRlnf0c).

The problem is that I Magic Leap tab is not showing beneath External Tools:

I have been wondering if I have to create a new project with Unity 2022 and migrate the current one to that version or there is a way I can still work with Unity 6.

Thank you!

Please refer to the written documentation on our developer portal, as it is most up to date.

> **[Getting Started | MagicLeap Developer Documentation](https://developer-docs.magicleap.cloud/docs/guides/unity-openxr/getting-started/openxr-unity-getting-started/)**
>
> These guides serve as a starting point for Magic Leap app development in Unity using OpenXR. If this is your first time developing for Magic Leap, we recommend that you follow the guides sequentially. If you are an experienced Magic Leap developer,...

The step you are referencing, setting the MLSDK path, is not longer necessary.
