PrefabUtility.GetPrefabObject

public static Object GetPrefabObject(Object targetObject);

Parameters

targetObjectAn object contained within a prefab object.

Returns

Object The prefab the object is contained in.

Description

Retrieves the enclosing prefab for any object contained within.

A prefab internally consists of a Prefab object and the list of objects used for the prefab. The Prefab object has a pointer to the root game object and if the prefab is an instance then it also contains a pointer to the asset it was created from and a list of modifications done to the instance.

This checks if the object is part of a prefab, either instance or asset. If so it returns the Prefab object.
