    The new focused prefab scene it's cool because it let's you modify the prefab in an isolated space.

    The problem is every time you make a change to it like adding a new child gameobject or moving them, it takes about 1 or 2 seconds to auto-save which makes you lose lots of time if you want to make several modifications like that.

    Is there any way to disable that auto-saving feature?

    There's a toggle in the upper-right corner of the scene view

    But now you can't see your mods in Game view in real time. I prefer the old format if this is the tradeoff.
    Focused prefab is cool in theory, but having to pick between 1 to 2 seconds of lag on every minor UI adjustment or no realtime preview in Game pane is really bad.

    Good chance I'm missing something. Anyone know a workaround?

    Is there a way for me to do this programmatically? I really only have issue with one particular custom editor. When I select it (OnEnable) I'd like to disable autosave while working within it, then when deselected (OnDisable) turn autosave back on again and save the changes.

    I, too, would like to know if there's a way to disable it through a script. Particularly in Unity 2019 LTS.
