UE 5.1

Unreal Engine 5.1 added the possibility of having multiple Outliners.
The commands Expand All, Collapse All and Collapse to Root will now work only on the Outliner that was last focused, referred to as the most recently used Outliner.
Three new commands have been added: Expand All Outliners, Collapse All Outliners and Collapse All Outliners to Root which will affect all the opened Outliner windows.

Binding Shortcuts

Open the Editor Preferences (Edit > Editor Preferences).
Either search for Outliner Shortcuts or go under General > Keyboard Shortcuts > Outliner Shortcuts.
You can now set custom shortcuts for the World Outliner functions Collapse All, Collapse to Root and Expand All.
Since UE 5.1, you can also set shortcuts for the functions Expand All Outliners, Collapse All Outliners and Collapse All Outliners to Root.

Automatic Collapsing on Map Open

Open the Editor Preferences (Edit > Editor Preferences).
Either search for Outliner Shortcuts or go under Plugins > Outliner Shortcuts > Outliner Shortcuts.
You can now set a default behavior for the World Outliner when a Map opens.
