    Hi there,

    I have a problem with new UI. Since I very often use inspector preview using prefabs with for example models inside, textures and other stuff I found a problem with new UI.

    When I create some prefab with new UI components for example panel or button. There is no any way to preview how this prefab UI element look inside inspector. I think this is a little bit anyoing when you have for example set of buttons, panels and you want to create your UI using ready made elements. Actually you dont know how they look till you drag them into the scene.

    Do you have some ideas, suggestions ?

    Cheers,
    Tom

    No, there is no prefab preview for UI in the inspector and I've not seen any mention that there will be.

    Any thoughts @phil-Unity ? is anything like this planned or even thought of
