 				Returns [code]true[/code] if this is a main screen editor plugin (it goes in the workspace selector together with [b]2D[/b], [b]3D[/b], [b]Script[/b] and [b]AssetLib[/b]).
+				When the plugin's workspace is selected, other main screen plugins will be hidden, but your plugin will not appear automatically. It needs to be added as a child of [method EditorInterface.get_base_control] and made visible inside [method _make_visible].
+				Use [method _get_plugin_name] and [method _get_plugin_icon] to customize the plugin button's appearance.
