Standardizing data before applying UMAP

Is standardization required before applying UMAP method on the dataset. I have gone through the notebooks provided, but the toy data used is from uniform distribution for which values are in [0,1).
If standardization is required, how critical is it when compared to standardization before applying PCA. PCA gives quite different results(rightly so) with/without standardization and with/without the presence of outliers.
