# Instantiating Prefabs
You can find this sample in the tutorial project: **Menu** → **Instantiating prefabs** 

## Explanation
This C# Beginner tutorial covers how to instantiate prefabs. A prefab is a "master" version of an object that you can reuse wherever you need. When you change the prefab, every instance of the prefab changes too. A prefab that is instantiated by code does not give you a new prefab object, but instead gives you a list of entities. As long as these entities are not added to the scene, they wont be visible and attached scripts will not be executed.
