    Hello!
    Currently when Unity perforce is disconnected you must either,

    - Select an asset and use the inspector header to pick 'Reconnect'
    - OR go into your project settings and reconnect.

    This is quite hidden compared to other software, I'd expect this to be a main toolbar icon (alongside cloud services ect). This should have an icon that makes it very clear whether version control is connected or not and quickly reconnect. For example.

    In addition to this as far as I can find there is no API for scripts to attempt to reconnect version control. There are many cases where being able to get the status and attempt to reconnect version control would be beneficial (for example before building or doing large batch changes).

    Is this something unity is considering improving on?
