    I have read in Unity Manual:

    "
    You can create a Prefab from a GameObject in your scene, simply by dragging the GameObject from the scene into the project view. When you do this, the GameObject’s name text will be selected to let you rename it as you like.
    "

    When I drag it changes its position in the Scene View, but not switches into the Project View.
    ?

    I can drag from the Hierarchy into the Project View, but it work for one GameObject, Can I Drag 2 different GameObjects into the Project View to make one Prefab?
    Can I drag from the Scene View? (Not from the Hierarchy)

    That means dragging from the Hierarchy Tab into the Project Tab.
    It is clearly misleading. You should consider to submit a bug report.

    The bug is:
    "
    simply by dragging the GameObject from the scene into the project view.
    "
    Submitted.

    Now everything is plain.

    There is yet another mistake:

    Unity Manual:
    "
    You cannot save the build into the Assets folder.
    "
    I can save.

    No you can't. Or if you can, you shouldn't; that's not a mistake.
