Importing old prefabs overwrites new prefabs!

Unity Engine
1

Greetings, A few of us are working on a project and thus asset management has become an issue.

When we rename and export prefabs from an old version of our project to import to the new version they overwrite the new ones, there are no options to rename/duplicate etc. I understand this is because of the unique ID’s that unity attaches to prefabs.

How can one import the old prefabs so they do not overwrite our existing ones (which have the same unique ID I presume)?

You can uncheck them in the dialog that pops up when you import the package.

Duplicate them all and export the duplicates. That’s the easiest way I can think of.
