Advanced Scene Manager is a new and improved scene management system for Unity. Get it at the Unity Asset Store!

Advanced Scene Manager allows you to assign scenes as children to a Scene Collection (commonly referred to as collections). When a Scene Collection is opened all existing scenes (except persistent) will be closed and the newly opened Scene Collection will have its associated scenes opened.

Only one collection can be open at a time, but individual scenes can still be opened as standalone.

The Scene Manager Window can be accessed from 'File -> Scene Manager...' menu item. The Scene Manager window can be used to create and remove collections and assign any scenes as children.

Collections and scenes can be used like this:

or like this:

using UnityEngine;
using AdvancedSceneManager.Models;

public MyScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    public SceneCollection collection;
    public Scene scene;

    public void DoStuff()
    {     

        //All collection functions use a loading screen, if one is defined
        collection.Open();         //Close all existing scenes and open scenes in collection
        collection.OpenAdditive(); //Don't close existing scenes and only open scenes in collection
        collection.Close();        //Closes all scenes. If additive, then only collection scenes will be closed. 
        collection.ToggleOpen();   //Toggles the collection on or off

        //All scene functions open it as stand-alone (not associated with a collection)
        scene.Open();         //Opens the scene
        scene.Close();        //Closes the scene
        scene.ToggleOpen();   //Toggles the scene on or off

        //All the above are proxy functions for functions in SceneManager.runtime
        SceneManager.runtime.Open(scene);
        SceneManager.runtime.Close(scene);
        SceneManager.runtime.ToggleOpen(scene);

        SceneManager.runtime.Open(collection);
        SceneManager.runtime.Close(collection);
        SceneManager.runtime.ToggleOpen(collection);

    }

}

Collections and scenes can also be opened from UnityEvents, such as from a Button, but it might be easier to use the SceneHelper, since that will make it easier to find the scene or collection in the Object Picker.
