# Methods In addition to revealing [properties](https://tools.continis.io/black-box/main-features/reveal) and [entire components](https://tools.continis.io/black-box/main-features/reveal/entire-components), you can visualise buttons on a BlackBox to invoke public, parameter-less methods of any component:

This Prefab exposes three methods as buttons

This can be useful to invoke editor-time functionality directly from a Prefab's root, like baking a Navmesh, randomising the position of children objects programmatically, etc. ## Revealing methods on the BlackBox Like for properties, exposing methods can be done from the `BlackBox` component by entering Prefab Mode, and clicking on the **Show available properties** button:

This exposes the list of children and all of their components. Open a component to visualise another foldout called **Public methods**. Open this one to display all available public methods, which are preceded by a tiny **\[M]**:

Methods available are denoted by an M icon

{% hint style="warning" %} Note that only methods with no parameters will show up in the list. To invoke a method with parameters, consider [revealing UnityEvents](https://tools.continis.io/black-box/main-features/reveal/properties/unityevents-as-buttons) as a button instead. {% endhint %} Press on the **\[+]** button to add the method to the reveal list:

Here you can customise the button's label, just like it's done for properties, and remove them again with the **\[-]** button. Now, by exiting Prefab Mode, you will be able to see the buttons on the Prefab, and click them both in Edit and Play mode.
