The Inspector Graph Pro is a tool to better visualize, understand and manipulate objects in a reference hierarchy. It includes all the features from the original Inspector Graph plus extra functionality.
- Support for Addressables References
- Support to inspect Scene objects
- Automatically inspect objects based on selection in Project or Hierarchy panel
- Lock inspected object to avoid accidental changes in graph
- Zoom in and out using [Alt on PC / Option on Mac] + Scroll Wheel
- Extra Inspection modes
- Inspect references from Assets in Project to the Target asset
- Inspect references from Active Loaded Scene to the Target asset
- Cache Asset Database to quickly scan project assets
Take a look at the latest changes here.
Important
For some of these features to work correctly, your assets must be serialized as Text. The serialization mode can be changed viaProject Settings
Inspector Graph Pro can recognize Unity Addressables references. These references will be displayed in the Reference Graph with a distinct color (Magenta by default) that can be configured via Inspector Graph Project Settings.
Inspector Graph Pro supports the inspection of Scene objects. When selecting a Scene, the graph will display all references to external assets outside the scene, embedded data in the scene will not be displayed (Example: GameObjects that are not Prefab Instances)
ℹ️ Note: This feature requires Text Asset Serialization
Inspector Graph Pro can automatically change the inspected object based on the selected objects from the Hierarchy or Project panels. To prevent unintended changes in the graph visualization, a convenient Lock button is placed next to the active Object selection to prevent it from changing when selecting objects.
ℹ️ Note: Inspector Graph can only inspect one object at a time, multiple selections will have no effect on the graph.

In addition to regular zoom control, Inspector Graph Pro provides a faster and more accurate way to Zoom in and out the graph using the Mouse Scroll Wheel.
Simply Press and Hold the Alt key on PC or Option key on Mac and move the Mouse Scroll Wheel Up to Zoom In or Down to Zoom out. The center position of the zoom will be located where the mouse position is on the graph.
Inspector Graph Pro provides extra inspection modes that can be selected via View > Inspection Modes under the Inspector Graph Window.
At the moment, there are two extra inspection modes, Asset References To Object and Scene References To Object. One is focused on references from other assets in the project and the other is focused on references from the active loaded scene.
This mode will display all references from Other Assets in the project to the active object.
ℹ️ Note: This feature requires Text Asset Serialization
Inspector Graph will scan all assets in the Project extracting all recognizable references. This process may take some time the first time it runs depending on the size of your project, the results will be cached and subsequent runs will execute much faster.
The scan runs in the background and it will not block the usage of Unity, keep in mind to avoid changing references of assets while this is happening to avoid inaccuracies. When Inspector Graph is scanning, it will display a progress bar at the bottom right corner of the Inspector Graph Window.
The graph will change direction and all the assets found that contain a reference to the active object will display first and only the references to the Active Object will be displayed to avoid unnecessary noise.
This inspection mode is intended to provide a better understanding of the usage of a particular asset on a given Scene.
In order to detect the references to the active Object from a particular scene, the scene must be loaded and active. Once that is done, select this mode to scan for references or refresh the view. Inspector Graph will scan all the objects in the active loaded scene for references to the active object.
Similarly to Asset References To Object mode, the graph will change direction and all the scene objects that are referencing the active object will be displayed first and only references to the Active Object will be displayed to avoid unnecessary noise. Also, instead of displaying GameObjects as a whole, only the scripts with references will be displayed unless is a PrefabInstance.
