# Description
|

RiderSourceCodeAccess is a plugin for Unreal Engine, available through [Marketplace page](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/rider-source-code-access) that will add an option to select ["Rider for Unreal Engine"](https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/unreal/) as your source code editor in Unreal Editor.
|
||
|
||
## Functionality
|
||
* Adds the option to select "Rider for Unreal Engine" as your IDE of choice in Unreal Editor.
|
||
* You can select a specific version of Rider (e.g. Rider xxx.xx.xx) or,
|
||
