3. Enable the addon from Blender Preferences
4. You should see the Xatlas menu appear as an option in the 3D View sidebar (opened with 'n' by default)

Warning! The tool will make a single user copy and triangulate your mesh! (Unless using 'Pack Only')

1. Make sure your file is saved
2. Change your settings under Xatlas Tools
3. Select the objects you wish to unwrap and unpack
4. Click Run Xatlas
5. Wait for an undetermined period of time
6. Your unwrapped UVs should pop out of the oven
