#### Rename Prefabs      
Rename the copied prefabs by removing unnecessary prefixes: 
| Prefix to Remove | Original Prefab Name | Final Name |
|------------------|----------------------|------------|
| `template-new-`  | `template-new-ui-bottom-bar-panel` | `ui-bottom-bar-panel`     |
| `template-`      | `template-button-auto-selection`   | `button-auto-selection` |     


```jsx title="The folder structure is as follows:"
    assets\game-assets\prefabs
```

| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Label Outline**    | Add an outline to make the text stand out.        |
| **Label Shadow**     | Add a shadow for better contrast and readability. |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
