Edit prefabs

You can perform these edits on prefabs, without unpacking them:

• Edits on a prefab in Prefab mode

  Pixyz doesn't save these edits directly in the prefab. Pixyz saves these edits according to the Prefab Dependencies Destination setting in the Pixyz settings, as follows:

  • When you select the Save button
  • Automatically if you have selected the Auto Save setting for the prefab

• Edits on a prefab instance in a scene

  Pixyz doesn't apply these edits directly to the prefab but saves them as instance overrides. Pixyz stores all the instance overrides in the scene.

  Note

  To save these edits to the prefab, you can apply these overrides to prefabs.

  Important

  The scene size may increase substantially.

When you perform edits to prefabs or prefab instances, Pixyz prompts you to save non-persistent objects in the generated prefab:

• If you select Yes, these objects become persistent. Pixyz saves the assets on the disk as separated assets or under the root prefab, according to the Prefab Dependencies Destination setting in the Pixyz settings.

• If you select Yes, and don't show again, these objects become persistent. Pixyz doesn't prompt you again.

• If you select No, Pixyz doesn't save the edits.

  Warning

  If you select No, all the assets that Pixyz has modified are lost. Part of the prefab may be missing.
