I have experienced this with Skeleton mode, and now the same is with the new Layout pane:
If I want to reach an element deeper in the structure, or if I want to move stuff around, I often need to expand lot of sections/rows/elements. It can be tiresome and time consuming.
I would like to see an option to expand all the child elements. Maybe a right-click on the Element in the Layout pane?
Mind-mapping apps have similar right-click behavior, where you can select if you want to expand everything, or just the direct children of the selected element, or everything under the selected element.
Of course, then the “Collapse all” option would nicely complement this functionality.
Thanks!
