Collapse / Expand all folders in the layers panel.

The ability to collapse / expand all folders in the layers panel, similar to photoshop (Hold Alt + Click on folder to collapse or expand).

Most elements / symbols have a hand full of layers inside each. These add up after an artboard or so worth of design and having to manually collapse each individual group of layers individually can take up a bit of time.

Would just be a bit of a time save for those of use who spend a lot of time organising our layers.

    This one's actually a pet peeve of mine since the launch of Xd. A lot of time wasted.

    ADOBE XD team. Look at what your competitors are doing. Figma, Sketch and everyone all have this time saving common-sense function. Does your team even examine your competitors? Figma uses this lack of function as a value prop to poach and choose them over XD on their website. Look at EACH point Figma points out where XD fails and respond to that before developing fluff no one is asking for. Take away If there is no innovation and foresight left at Adobe, at least keep up with your competitors.

    Sometimes an artboard can contain lots of folders that a user might want to quickly open so they can see all of the folders' contents. I propose that when you select more than 1 folder and ctrl + click the folder icon, it automatically expands out ALL of the folders and their contents

    A keybord shortcut to cascade down all your layer groups on the layer panel as well as organizing all your artboards with given X pixel spaces and in a grid.

    Or just give users the ability to make shorcuts like in other Adobe apps. I set on up in Photoshop that collapses all layers and groups by simply pressing ctrl-shift-A.

    Yes, this would be a great addition to speed up my day to day workflow. Lots of folders and symbols and I need them to stay as organized as possible, thus bulk closing folders/symbols as I move from artboard to artboard. Please consider this enhancement.
