In the [SoundManager](/docs/soundmanager.md) there is a part which is dedicated to Editor Tools.\
This is a collection of nifty editor tools which you can use to speed up your workflow.\
They are enabled with the use of “Script Define Symbols” in:\
Project Settings → Player → Other Settings → Script Compilation → Script Define Symbols.\
This way they can be bound to default hotkeys and they won’t hog up your toolbars if you don’t use them.

Reference Finder is an editor tool for finding where an asset is referenced by another asset.\
It is enabled with the use of the Script Define Symbol "SONITY\_ENABLE\_EDITOR\_TOOL\_REFERENCE\_FINDER".\
This is assigned in:\
Project Settings → Player → Other Settings → Script Compilation → Script Define Symbols.

**Find References for Selected Assets**\
Is useful for e.g. figuring out to which (if any) prefabs a SoundEvent is assigned to, or any other kind of asset in Unity.

**Open Reference Finder Window**\
Is useful for figuring out e.g. which AudioClips (or other assets) are completely unreferenced and therefore unused.\
Thanks [Alexey Perov](https://github.com/AlexeyPerov/Unity-Dependencies-Hunter) for making this amazing tool which I've expanded upon!
