Any content in the hierarchy of a scene.
Any content in the project. This is any asset in the Assets or Project Settings directories.
Any content in a package. These are assets that appear in the Packages directory in the Project window. Assets from Unity's Asset Store may use the Package Manager but are not installed as packages.

GameObjects under the root of prefab assets.
Project or package assets that are not prefabs.
