Convert existing prefab to a variant to another prefab, possible?

Unity Engine

Hi,

I duplicated some prefabs and now I realized that I need to start having more ‘variants’ so the idea is to have 1 base prefab and convert all of the other existing ones into variants of the one.

Is that possible?

Thanks.

There is not a good way to do this today.

You can make a variant and drag it onto the Prefab Asset it’s meant to replace. However, this will replace the object in the Prefab Asset with new objects with different IDs. This means that all overrides in your scenes on instances of the Prefab will no longer work, including position and rotation. It’s something we’d like to look into solving in the future.
