Use scripts to edit multiple scenes

You can edit multiple scenes using scripts within the Editor or at runtime.

When using (or running) scripts within the Editor, use:

```
Scene
```
struct: Available both in the Editor and at runtime, Scene struct contains read-only properties that relate to the scene itself, such as name and asset path.
```
EditorSceneManager
```
API: This class is only available only in the Editor and has several functions to implement all the Multi-Scene editing features described in the pages Setup multiple scenes and Bake data in multiple scenes.
```
SceneSetup
```
utility class: A utility class that you can use to store information about a scene that is in the Hierarchy window.

When using scripts at runtime to edit multiple scenes, use the functions in the

SceneManager

class such as

LoadScene

and

UnloadScene

Tips:

To instantiate a prefab in a scene, use
```
PrefabUtility.InstantiatePrefab
```
.
To move objects to the root of a scene, use
```
Undo.MoveGameObjectToScene
```
.
To avoid having to setup your Hierarchy window every time you restart the Editor, or to store different setups, use
```
EditorSceneManager.GetSceneManagerSetup
```
, which also gets a list of SceneSetup objects that describes the current setup. You can serialize the objects into a
```
ScriptableObject
```
along with any other information you want to store about your scene setup. To restore your Hierarchy window, recreate the list of
```
SceneSetups
```
and use
```
EditorSceneManager.RestoreSceneManagerSetup
```
.
To get a list of your loaded scenes at runtime, get the
```
sceneCount
```
and iterate over the scenes with
```
GetSceneAt
```
.
