    Hi all,
    I just wondering what if I create a scriptable object SO in Resource/. Lets say it hold a variable currentLevel.
    I set currentLevel in inspector to 0 and build. At run time of the build currentLevel is set to 2 by a script that holds the reference of SO. Will currentLevel be 2 next time I start the build? If so, Is that mean I can treat it as a save data?

    It will in the editor, but not in a build of your game.

    No. SOs are assets just like for example materials. So they retain changes in the editor, but they do not retain changes in build between sessions.
