- Make objects unselectable or invisible in the 3D Viewport.
- Exclude objects from rendering.
- Duplicate objects.
- Delete objects.
- Manage parent/child relationships and :doc:`collections </scene_layout/collections/introduction>`.

Items with an arrow on the left can be expanded. Click it with :kbd:`LMB` to expand a single item,
