Collections and hiding. groups vs layers

exactly! it didn’t work like the visibility settings for layers.
i never really used the outliner for it because swapping the outliner’s display mode back and forth felt slower than using shift+g and h.

i do think having visibility settings like how layers work is useful too so as i’ve been suggesting maybe rather than a simple boolean toggle it could cycle through three options.
visibility%20options
it would probably be a little less understandable how the second and third options are functionally different at a glance but i think a tooltip could help with that.
