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.

Somehow, the basic elementary digital concept of objects and their hiearchy, with originals in a library, and referenced instances is too difficult for Adobe to implement in any GUI...

Instead of us grouping them into a composition, you may give us the option to group them like how we group objects (in Adobe XD for example) and layers together, and then if we duplicated them and use the second duplicated group to do other animations or changes, it wouldn't affect the first group together.

I'd like to create a bin inside my working composition. That way I could keep things organized without precomposing, which is more time-consuming. I would like to have a bin which would open bellow, not in another tab or window. It would work similarly as a layer tab in Adobe Illustrator.
Please make that future available it would save me so much time while working. I also don't it is hard to implement it.

Create bins/folders in layer panels. It'll be much easier to work on big projects
