    We have the new Prefab system, and also a new way to edit the prefab, it's good, until, you want to edit the prefab from some reference hierarchy object.

    Well you can create 2 Hierarchy Window and lock one of them and then, no it can't, the other locked Hierarchy window will also go to prefab mode whenever the prefab is... well, go to Prefab Mode, so you can't compare or take the reference from other object by just seeing it side by side, the only way, currently at least, copy and paste the object into the prefab.

    So, can Unity make the Locked Hierarchy not going into the prefab mode? Of course if it's not Locked when inside other Prefab Mode, or in other words, make the Locked Hierarchy Window work as expected with new Prefab System

    One year later and this is still an issue with unity 2020. I want to edit two prefabs at the same time with two hierarchy windows. The lock icon on top does absolutely nothing. When I click on the second prefab - it opens it in both hierarchy windows.

    As far as I know, no, maybe "Peek" can help, since it's for productivity, but I'm not 100% sure if they even have a similar feature or not.
