Limits
We know of some limits within the Scenes Outline, in each area we will try and list the ones we know of at the bottom, and ones which we intend to address with our future updates.
We may, if requested, add the view and filters display area and filters button as found in the Scene Map, in a future version here in the Scenes Outline Outliner area.
We will be enhancing the Scenes Outline Outliner's features, and scrolling abilities in future updates and versions.
