Is it possible to collapse folders in the world outliner by default?

thanks! here’s how I managed to mass-collapse every sub-folder (in U4.25):

  1. with the parent folder in a collapsed state, SHIFT-click on the parent folder’s little triangle to expand it with all sub-folders expanded and then again SHIFT-click to collapse it again;

  2. CTRL-click on the parent folder’s little triangle to open it with all sub-folders collapsed

What’s interesting is CTRL-click will only work if the parent folder has been previously closed with SHIFT-click…not really sure why this is.

Thank you, shift+left click to close master folder works for me. You are the best.

In UE5 I put all my folders in a folder called “Folders” and I only collapse that when I open the editor.

My gosh thank you! CMD + Shift for mac users :slightly_smiling_face:

Epic can push out Nanite, Lumen and lord knows how many other huge technological achievements yet saving the collapsed/uncollapsed state of folders is still a no-go. The amount of development time wasted because of this simple broken feature…
