To edit a prefab and propagate changes to all instances, you need to open the prefab edit stage. This skill activates that stage for a specified GameObject using Unity's PrefabUtility to resolve the instance and apply modifications across every instance.

The best way to update a prefab across multiple places is by entering the prefab edit stage. This allows you to modify the base prefab asset once, ensuring the modifications automatically propagate to all instances within your Unity project.

Yes, opening the prefab edit stage requires the Unity editor to be in play mode. Additionally, the target GameObject must be a valid prefab instance or asset for the PrefabUtility to successfully resolve and open the stage.

Yes, you can modify a specific prefab instance by passing its reference to the skill. It resolves the underlying prefab via PrefabUtility and opens the edit stage, ensuring any changes you make affect the base asset and all other instances.

Opening a prefab edit stage fails for non-prefab GameObjects because the skill relies on PrefabUtility to resolve the prefab instance. If the target is not a valid prefab asset or instance, the stage cannot be activated for modifications.

You can programmatically open prefab edit mode by running the skill command with a JSON input specifying the gameObjectRef. This triggers PrefabUtility to activate the edit stage for that prefab, allowing modifications to propagate across all instances.
