Addressables Report window reference
The Addressables Report is a tool that you can use to view information about the content built in an Addressables Build in depth.
To open the Addressables Report window, go to Window > Asset Management > Addressables > Addressables Report.
Prerequisites
- You must use Unity Editor version 2022.2 or newer. If you want to use the Addressables report, but your current Editor version is below 2022.2, you can use a build report built on an earlier version of the Unity Editor and import it into a project uses an Editor version newer than 2022.2, provided that the build report is built on Addressables version 1.21.8 or newer.
- The Addressables Report also requires a build report generated by an Addressables build to function. To enable the generation of build reports, go to Edit > Preferences > Addressables and enable the Debug Build Layout property.
- By default, the Addressables Report opens automatically after every build. To disable this, go to Edit > Preferences > Addressables and disable Open Addressables Report After Build
Addressables Report window overview
Addressables Report window
The Addressables Report window has the following views:
| View | Description |
|---|---|
| Summary tab | Displays a high level overview of the Addressables build and its contents. |
| Explore tab | Displays a detailed breakdown of all the content built as part of the Addressables build |
| Potential Issues tab | Displays issues that might affect build performance or otherwise be undesirable. |
| Inspector panel | Displays detailed information about a selected asset or AssetBundle. |
The left sidebar panel contains the list of all the build reports currently detected within the project. Select a build report in the side bar to load that report in the Addressables Report window.
Use the search bar in the Build Report window to search within the Explore and Potential Issues tabs. This filters all assets in the current view by the text written in the search bar.
Summary tab
The Summary tab displays information about the selected build report, along with information about any detected potential issues in the build. It includes the following sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| General Information | Includes the locations of the catalogs created by the build, which profile the current build was built with, how long the build took, and the version of the Addressables package and the Unity Editor that the build was created with. |
| Potential Issues | Contains a summary of the issues in the Potential Issues tab. |
| Aggregate Information | Displays the number of AssetBundles created as part of the build, the size of the AssetBundles built, and the number of assets in the build. The number of assets includes assets that are referenced by an Addressable asset, but aren't marked as Addressable. These assets must be included in the build to allow for assets that depend on them to be loaded. |
Explore tab
The Explore tab has detailed information about the selected build report. Use the View By dropdown to change the way that assets are organized in the build report.
You can sort the Explore View in the following ways:
| View | Description |
|---|---|
| AssetBundles | Displays all AssetBundles built as part of the Addressables build. Expand an AssetBundle to display the assets that AssetBundle contains. This is the default view. |
| Assets | Displays all assets built as part of the Addressables build. Expand an asset to display all assets and AssetBundles that depend on the expanded asset. |
| Labels | Displays all the assets built as part of the Addressables build, sorted by the label attached to the Asset. Expand an asset to display the assets and AssetBundles that depend on the expanded asset. |
| Groups | Displays all the AssetBundles built as part of the Addressables build, sorted by which group generated the AssetBundle. If you use the Pack Together By Label or Pack Separately group settings, it's possible for multiple AssetBundles to be generated by a single group. |
When you select an asset in the Explore Tab, its information is displayed in the Inspector panel.
Potential Issues tab
The Potential Issues tab scans the selected build report for any potential issues or problems that might have happened as part of your build. You can then view how these issues might have happened. It has the following view:
- Duplicated Assets View: Displays a list of all the non-Addressable assets that are duplicated between multiple AssetBundles in your build. This happens when two Addressable assets are in different AssetBundles, but both reference a common asset that's not marked as Addressable.
To fix these issues, either move the Addressable assets into the same AssetBundle, or make the asset Addressable. Either means of fixing it have implications on your build dependencies.
Selecting an asset in the Potential Issues Tab opens its information in the Inspector panel.
Inspector panel
When you select an asset or AssetBundle in the Explore tab or the Potential Issues tab, the Inspector panel displays information about the selected asset or AssetBundle.
The Inspector panel has the following sections:
- Summary panel: Displays information about an asset or AssetBundle, such as its file size, its group, and any labels associated with it. Additionally, the summary panel has buttons that you can use to navigate to various places within both the Build Report and the Editor, depending on whether you select an Asset or an AssetBundle.
- References panel: Displays the chain of dependencies surrounding a given asset.
Summary panel
Use the buttons in this panel to perform the following functions:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Select in Editor | Selects the asset in the Unity Editor. |
| Select in Group | Selects the asset in the Groups view in the Explore tab. This navigates to the Groups view if you're not currently in it. |
| Select in Bundle | Selects the asset in the AssetBundles view in the Explore window. This navigates to the AssetBundles view if you're not currently in it. |
| Search in this view | Searches the name of the asset in the search bar. |
References panel
The References panel has the following tabs:
| Tab | Description |
|---|---|
| References To | Contains a list of all the assets and AssetBundles that the selected item depends on. For example, if you have a material that references a shader, then the shader appears in this tab when you select the material in the Explore View. |
| Referenced By | Contains a list of all the assets and AssetBundles that depend on the selected item. For example, if you have a material that references a shader, then the material that the shader references appears in this tab when you select the shader in the Explore View. |
Select the arrow next to an Asset or AssetBundle in the References panel to cycle through the dependencies of the top level asset.
The question mark icon is displayed next to assets that aren't Addressable but are pulled into the AssetBundle by another Addressable asset. Select it to highlight all the assets in the same AssetBundle that reference that asset.
