About Asset References Inspector
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
Asset deletion check: When you try to delete an asset in the project browser, it automatically checks if any other asset depends on it and shows a confirmation window that displays all the assets whose references would break. This feature is optional.
Unreferenced assets: A separate window that lets you know which assets are not referenced at all in the project. It does not only check that the asset is directly referenced by other asset but also checks whether the asset is part of Addressables, Asset Bundles, project settings pre-loaded assets, scene build settings, Resources folder, Editor folder, Packages folder, etc. It allows filtering and deletion of assets in the same window.
Ancestry: The inspector allows you to check all the asset's ancestors, which are the top most (normally unreferenced) assets in the hierarchy that have at least one dependency that references the selected asset. This may be useful to figure out which assets are making the selected asset to be included in a build or being loaded into memory.
Deep inspection: Not only can you know who references an asset but you can also know where is the reference stored. Click on the magnifier button that appears over a reference and you will get a list of all the places where the reference is stored in the referrer, this means in which objects of its internal hierarchy, in which components, in which fields... So you do not have to waste time looking for it. This also works when the referrer is a scene, a material, a model, etc.
