    <YourProject>/Plugins/SceneInsight/

  2. Restart the editor. When prompted to rebuild missing modules, click Yes (only required for source/C++ projects).

  2. Search for SceneInsight (Category: Performance).
  3. Tick Enabled and restart the editor if prompted.

SceneInsight registers an Open Panel command but ships with no key binding assigned. You can add your own under Edit → Editor Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts (search for "SceneInsight").
