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

An Object in the current Scene can be duplicated by right-clicking it on the Scene Outliner and selecting Duplicate.
Objects can be cut or copied and then pasted in another Scene.
Objects can be renamed by right-clicking an item and selecting Rename. You can then type a new name and press ⏎/Return to confirm the change.
Objects can be deleted in the following ways:

Objects can be shown or hidden at the start of a Scene.

The Search option allows the user to search Objects in a Scene by name. To perform a search, click the magnifying glass icon on the top right, and write the name of the Object to search.
The Filter option allows the user to filter Objects in a Scene by type. To apply a filter, click the filter icon on the top right, and select the types to filter from the drop-down menu. After a filter has been applied, it can be removed with the Reset button.
