# Scene Outliner

The **Scene Outliner** contains the list of every [**Object**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/scene-objects) in the currently selected [**Scene**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/project-objects/scene).

## Prefabs

The pop-up menu that appears by right-clicking on the **Scene Outliner** offers three options relating to **Prefabs**.

* `Make prefab`: The selected **Objects** turn into a **Prefab**.
* `Unpack prefab`: The selected **Prefab Instance** is unpacked, thus the **Objects** that compose it remain in the **Scene** but no longer are a **Prefab Instance**. More information can be found [here.](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/prefabs/creating-and-using-prefabs#unpacking-a-prefab)
* `Edit prefab`: This will open the **Prefab View**, where the [**Prefab Asset**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/2022.2/objects-and-types/prefabs/creating-and-using-prefabs#editing-the-prefab-asset) can be edited
