Collapse all button in the explorer

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to collapse everything opened in the explorer.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would improve my development experience because it would allow me to close everything in the explorer and “start fresh” when I get to a point where I have too many hierarchies opened

A simple button next to the search bar to collapse everything would be great.

I agree with this, sometimes i will move one small thing in my msp, and then the whole hierarchy will open, which is annoying to close.

Like this?

Ctrl A selects all.
Right click.
Select Hierarchy.
Select Collapse all.

Yeah basically like that, but without the hassle of selecting everything.

It’s the method I’m using right now, but the more instances you have in the explorer, the laggier it becomes when selecting everything.. For me (ryzen 9800x3d + rtx5080) with about 100 items, it takes 1-2 seconds to select all.. The explorer is badly optimized, deliver sub-par performances compared to the old one.. I can’t imagine someone with lower specs trying that

Strange.
In the example place I took the screenshot I clicked the expand all and got 6819 items.
Clicked 1 item.
Clicked Ctrl A and it selected all items (6846 items including the items in the Services.
Ctrl A selected all in less than a second.

Might be due to my game’s size

EDIT: I have ~466k instances total

if they still let you bind right click actions to keybinds then you ‘could’ do a Control + A and then use some set keybinds to collapse everything. (I personally used Control + Shift + V)
