Improve Visibility of Selected Objects in the Outliner Panel
When working in a complex scene, it can be difficult to tell which object is selected in the Outliner panel—especially when the panel is densely populated.
This makes it frustrating to locate not only the object itself but also the collection it belongs to.
I’d like to suggest two key improvements:
- Enhanced Highlighting – Visually emphasize both the selected object and its parent collection within the Outliner to improve traceability.
- Viewport Selection Sync – When an object is selected in the 3D viewport, the Outliner should automatically scroll to bring the selected item into view and expand any collapsed collections or hierarchies to reveal the object.
These improvements would streamline navigation in large scenes and improve usability—especially for users managing deeply nested hierarchies.
