public static void LoadPrefabContentsIntoPreviewScene(string prefabPath, Scene scene)

Parameters

prefabPath

string
The path of the Prefab Asset to load the contents of.

scene

Scene
The Scene to load the contents into.

Remarks

You can use this to get the content of the Prefab and modify it directly instead of going through an instance of the Prefab. This is useful for batch operations.
Once you have modified the Prefab you have to write it back using PrefabUtility.SaveAsPrefabAsset. After that you can either reuse your preview scene for other purposes, or close the preview scene with EditorSceneManager.CloseScene.
