# Child GameObjects

When you have the *Configure* window open, it will show the variables, methods and component actions available for synchronization for your currently selected GameObject.

If the Prefab that you are configuring has a hierarchy, you can synchronize variables, methods and component actions for any of the child GameObjects within the hierarchy.

To do so, open the Prefab in Prefab Mode by clicking the *Open Prefab* option in the inspector. This will allow you to select any of the GameObjects that belong to the hierarchy, the *Configure* window will be updated automatically, showing you everything that is available to be synchronized.
