Visibility Allert before Rendering

Hello! This morning I woke up and took a look at the rendering that took me all the night to finish, but!! an important element, dug deep into nested collections, was disabled for rendering for some reason, maybe I disabled it for a mistake, maybe something else... Conclusion: I have to render the scene again and wait another big chunk of time to see it complete. This is something that happens very often to me with complex scenes, so maybe I'm not the only one suffering from such a problem. What I think might be useful to solve it is a prompt popping out before any rendering starts and shows you a list of all the objects disabled for rendering so that you can eventually enable them again on the fly and start the rendering a bit more relaxed. Of course the option should be a choise. Those who are completely sure they have set everything up correctly and just want to start their renderings without any prompt should be able to do so like they always did.

Did you check view layers. They can be configured to do exactly what you want. IE make a viewlayer where you setup your rendering settings, and another view where you work on your scene. Normally you would never touch the render view layer at all.

The view layer can also be set to be the only view layer that should be rendered. Very powerful.
