    Hello all,

    I have been using the new UI system in 4.6 to create menus for my game. Right now I am creating multiple screens in the same canvas and grouping them into empty GameObjects which I can then enable/disable when I want. It seems to be working well but I wanted to know if this was the correct way to do things, or if I should be using a new canvas for each new menu I want.

    I use one canvas and multiple panels. And this is working fine by me.

    I can think of at least two correct ways. The multipanel way is one I prefer for simple cases :)

    The other one was multiple canvases, which I needed to make it possible to depth-sort panels when moving them around. It wasn't very clean, so I'm sticking to fixed panels for now!
