The Outliner editor.

The Outliner shows the content of the blend-file in a tree. You can use it to:

  • Get an overview of the data in the scene.

  • Select and deselect objects.

  • Make objects unselectable or invisible in the 3D Viewport.

  • Exclude objects from rendering.

  • Duplicate objects.

  • Delete objects.

  • Manage parent/child relationships and collections.

Items with an arrow on the left can be expanded. Click it with LMB to expand a single item, drag LMB to expand multiple items, or click Shift-LMB to expand an item recursively.
