I've been going through the tutorials (which have all been really great so far) but I had a lot of problems with the UI box ones so I skipped them, and now that I'm at the 3D RPG Playground - Start Menu I had to come back to the UI boxes.
So I must be missing how to save the box as a prefab because I can't select the one I made thru the tutorial under Unity UI. Only the beige and blue ones show up there. I know this is something simple I probably missed but I've gone through Unity UI: Initial setup, Unity UI: UI Box and the Start Menu tutorial and I haven't figured it out.
That's all you need to do to be able to use the UI box prefab you create :)
