Prefab Upload		Scene Upload
Uploading assets per object Colliders are auto-applied Prefab upload is usually enough	Features	Uploading the whole scene By using scene upload, you can upload a whole scene created in Unity to STYLY No colliders are applied You cannot place multiple scenes in a single STYLY scene
You can move the asset around freely in STYLY Because the upload is per object, moving it around is easy Colliders are auto-applied, so you don’t need to set colliders in Unity	Merits	Most settings you created using Unity are applied to STYLY too
Colliders are auto-applied, so it is not suited for complex scenes using a lot of colliders	Demerits	You cannot move the uploaded scene around the scene in STYLY You need to plan and create the scene with the STYLY start position in mind
It is suited for assets you plan to move around in STYLY	Pros and Cons	It is suited for complex scenes created in Unity （ex）Interactive scenes using colliders, or scenes using physics such as gravity Not suited for assets you want to move around and set using STYLY
