Timeline folders. We have them in Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator... precomps can utterly ruin your work and is NOT an alternatives to having a simple folder hierarchy - especially when dealing with shape layers or anything that requires continual rasterization.

Adobe, why is adding such a simple function and at the same time significantly improving the animation process such a difficult challenge for you? Neither precomposition nor shy layers are the solution when it comes to sorting out a mess with multiple layers. To avoid chaos and a headache, the timeline must allow you to group selected layers and open only the selected ones with one click, without going into a separate composition.

Yes. This would be a great help. Precomps have their place and are incredibly essential. But this would better help organize complex projects.

People have been asking for this for years and years.

Why can't we have timeline folders?!
