### Remarks

By default some assets can be imported asynchronously (e.g. scripts can be compiled in the background). In some cases all importing needs to be synchronous; use this flag then. For example, when importing a scripts + prefabs, scripts have to be fully compiled before Prefab is serialized, otherwise it might get old variables.
