Prefab's "Select, Revert, Apply" buttons not appearing

Unity Engine
1

Hello,

I’ve been going through the Roll-A-Ball tutorial and came up with this issue on the Creating Collectible Objects step. I’ve created the object as directed and dragged it from the Hierarchy into the prefabs folder in my Assets. The name of this object turns blue in the Hierarchy, as I believe it’s supposed to as a prefab, but when I select it, the options “Select, Revert, Apply” under the inspector are not there as shown in the video.

I’m not sure why this is or whether I’m doing it wrong, but I believe I’ve followed each step from the video correctly.

Thank you.

EDIT: It would appear that I had the “play” button activated this entire time… When I deselected it, these buttons showed up for me. Feel free to delete this post, sorry.

If you go to Edit → Preferences → Colors → Playmode tint, you can set the editor to have a stronger color when you go into play mode. A red tint will remind you, especially as a beginner, that this is not the time to change things.

I’m so glad this wasn’t deleted. Had exactly same problem and same solution.
