-When a scene is loaded in play mode, prefabs are unpacked ((I've seen this mentioned in the profiler as Prefabs.MergePrefabs, during [[engine:scenemanager]] scene loads.)) into standard game-objects. These gameobjects have a different GID than the original prefab. However the GID of the unpacked GameObjects is *still* unique and stable!

 For example. You may have a prefab in the scene with GID:

+===== Bug: Querying deleted objects =====
+When calling ''GlobalObjectId.GlobalObjectIdentifiersToObjectsSlow'' with a GlobalObjectId that was assigned to a now-deleted object, the Object returned will sometimes be a valid, arbitrary Object in the project, rather than the correct value of ''null''.
+For example, in this case, when passed an array of only scene objects:
+{{ :hdmvjaumtf.png?direct&400 |}}
+The function will return non-scene objects (the shader editor asset at 205).
+{{ :is0bzbpnb6.png?direct&400 |}}
+This seems to be a bug. The correct result should have been ''null'', because that GID was deleted.
+I have had some luck <sup>[//[[:wiki:tag:dark-magic|dark magic]]//]</sup> querying these 'bad' GIDs individually with ''GlobalObjectIdentifierToObjectSlow''. This seems to properly return null in certain cases. This does not cure all cases, however((Luckily, there was only a small set of objects that were valid to be stored by my GIDs, and so I could discard any GIDs resolving to the wrong type.)).
+Update: This is fixed in 2021.1 [[https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/globalobjectidglobalobjectidentifierstoobjectsslow-sometimes-returns-a-random-existing-gameobject|bug tracker]].
