Prefab Checker for Unity

Name

Prefab Checker for Unity


Overview

This editor extension simply shows whether or not  the prefab instances in Hierarchy Window are identical to the original 'Prefab' in terms of a property or component.  If one of properties is changed or a component is added/deleted, the check mark beside the prefab instance would change to exclamation mark which means something is different from the original prefab.  That is, it prevents users from changing property values accidentally or forgetting to click apply button to apply changes to the original prefab.  


Setup

All you have to do is to import the asset.


How to use

Click 'Window' on the top menu bar, and click 'PrefabChecker'.  
In the popup window, click 'show' button to show prefab instance status in Hierarchy Window.
To hide the status, click 'hide' or close the popup window.
