By default, Unity Build Automation builds the scenes you’ve added to your project in the Unity Editor to File > Build Settings > scenes in Build. You can set up Build Automation to ignore the Scenes in Build list in the Unity Editor and provide a Scene List in the Unity Dashboard to build a different list of scenes:
  1. In the Unity Dashboard, go to the build target’s Advanced settings.
    Specify the scene to build

    Specify the scene to build

  2. Add the list of scenes you want to include to the scene List.
  3. Provide the file path as a relative path from the Assets directory to each scene file you want to include.
This is useful for development. For example, you might have one build target that includes all the scenes but takes a long time to build. If you’re only working on one scene, it might be helpful to use another build target that only includes that scene. Specified scenes build much faster, and allow for quicker iteration of development versions.
