Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to run on a large production project?

Yes. The tool is non-destructive.

1. Read-Only Scan: The scanner only reads data. It does not modify files until you explicitly click “Fix”.
2. Preview Mode: You can review every proposed fix in a list before applying.
3. Undo Support: All fixes use Undo.RecordObject, so you can revert changes using Ctrl+Z.

Does it increase build size?

No. All scripts are located in Editor folders or wrapped in #if UNITY_EDITOR. They are completely stripped from your final build.

Can it find missing references in scenes I don’t have open?

Yes. The tool uses “Additive Background Loading”. It will iterate through your project’s scene list, open each one silently, scan it, and close it. This ensures 100% coverage.

What is the “Smart Assist”?

It is a heuristic engine. If you have a public field named public GameObject playerPrefab; that is missing, the tool converts the name to “Player Prefab” and searches your AssetDatabase for matching assets, offering them as a one-click assignment.

How do I disable the “Scan on Build” feature?

Go to the Settings menu (Gear Icon) in the tool window and toggle “Scan Before Build”. This preference is saved locally for your session.
