Step-by-step explanation:

To switch between materials in UV editing mode in Blender, you can follow these steps:

Select the object you want to edit in the 3D viewport.

Switch to Edit Mode by pressing the Tab key.

In the Properties panel on the right-hand side of the screen, click the Materials tab (represented by a sphere icon).

Under the Material List section, you'll see a list of all the materials assigned to the selected object.

Click on the material you want to edit to select it. The UV editor will automatically update to show the UV layout for the selected material.

You can now edit the UVs for the selected material.

Note that you can also switch between materials using the dropdown menu at the top of the UV editor window. This menu lists all the materials assigned to the object, and you can select the material you want to edit from this menu.

I hope this helps!
