Group Assets

One thing I really want from the Asset Browser is a Group Asset (the Collection Asset introduced in 3.2 clutters up the Outliner and is frustrating to clean up) where I can mark a hierarchy as an asset and use it in other projects.

Another thing missing from the Collection Asset which I would hope can be part of the Group Asset is the bounds preview and object snapping. I made a short visualization of what the Group Asset could look like

This suggestion, combined with an "Append (Reuse Materials)" option in the Asset Browser, would be ideal for kitbashing.

I don't know exactly for this but, the fact that appending collection makes it an instance instead of the whole editable thing is pretty annoying. Is there even a way to convert ?

Before this can happen you first need to convince them to make a real thing recognized as a "group".

Bounds preview and snapping collection assets is already planned.
