    What happens if I mark a Sprite as Addressable and reference it in an Image component. The Unity understands that this sprite is an Addressable

    Hi @EwertonBR at the moment knowing if an asset is "addressable" is only known by the Addressables System not Unity. The Image component will reference the Sprite asset itself rather than the version of the Sprite that is packed into an AssetBundle.

    You can use AssetReference to store a reference to the addressable Sprite. Then at runtime, use Addressables to load the Sprite from the AssetReference. From there you can make the Image component reference the loaded Sprite.
