UDIM Mode
Switching to UDIM mode when you want to bake UDIM textures is essential. This switch can be done from the dropdown menu of the bake list's button.

Multiplier
One change for the bake list is that the items' scale changes from a whole number to a decimal number. This number acts as a multiplier for all the tiles' scales. When the tiles are created for the textures, the tile size is multiplied by the baked item's multiplier.

UDIM Tiles
The main change is the addition of a new UDIM Tiles panel, along with its list operators and item properties. This list holds the UDIM tiles for all the textures.
By default, the list is empty, like the bake list, and it provides an alert when it’s empty. Adding items to the list removes the alert.

These list buttons work the same way as the buttons in the bake list. They behave identically and have the same functionalities. The only difference is in the dropdown menu.

When you open the dropdown menu, the only differences are the source image option at the top and the tile label option at the bottom. The rest are the same as in the bake list, providing the same functionalities.
UDIM Items
Each item in the UDIM list has two main properties: the tile number and the tile size.
Tile Number
The UDIM number of the tile typically starts from 1001 and increases incrementally, with a maximum tile number of 2000. It can be changed by typing in a specific value, dragging it left or right, or using the incremental buttons.

Tile Size
The tile's image scale functions the same as the scale property in the non-UDIM bake list. It can be set from 1 to 65536 and can be changed by typing in a specific value, dragging it left or right, using the incremental buttons, or using the half and double buttons on its sides.

UDIM tiles with the same tile number are marked as duplicates. Only one item should have a specific tile number.
