A lot of things only really make sense to be edited from within the game, so that would be of relatively limited use. Not sure what you are editing exactly, but if for example you are working with the shader authoring tool, it can be a big help to do that in ‘Generic Headset’ mode, which shows the output on the desktop.
That’s a lot more comfortable than working on profiles in the headset. You can more or less consider that to be kind of an offline tool. Doesn’t make sense for everything, but makes editing things easier that don’t directly depend on the actual headset.
