### Remarks

This method sends serialized GraphicsStateCollection data to a connected Editor instance on-demand.

The Editor instance will save the GraphicsStateCollection to disk in the open project's Assets folder.

`SendToEditor` requires you to enable **Development Build** and **Autoconnect Profiler** in your project’s Build Profile settings.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;
using UnityEngine.Networking.PlayerConnection;

public class SendToEditorExample : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GraphicsStateCollection graphicsStateCollection;

    void Start()
    {
        graphicsStateCollection = new GraphicsStateCollection();
        graphicsStateCollection.BeginTrace();
    }

    void OnDestroy()
    {
        graphicsStateCollection.EndTrace();
        if (PlayerConnection.instance.isConnected)
        {
            graphicsStateCollection.SendToEditor("MyCollection");
        }
        else
        {
             Debug.Log("No PlayerConnection found! Collection not sent to Editor.");
        }
    }
}
```
