Question by Kabaw · May 26, 2017 at 08:56 PM · prefabprefab-instance

How to undo prefab Apply?

Hi,

I have lots of instances of same prefab all over my Unity project. When I was changing the values of one of the instances, I accidentally pressed the prefab "Apply" button and now all other instances received unwanted changes. I tried to use "ctrl-z" to revert the process, but it simply don't work.

So question are: 1- How can I undo the prefab apply effect? 2- There is any way to do that as simple as the usual "ctrl-z"

I'm pretty desperate with this, because fixing the values of all instances one by one will be a HUGE job.

Have you tried " Revert" Button in the inspector ?

Hi Dr_ZIZO and thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately the revert button do not solve the problem, because once you hit the apply button the prefab will receive the values of the instance, so if you press revert nothing will change, because at this point the values of the instance and the prefab will already be the same
