"Collapse All" Option in the Layers Panel

[BunnyD]

I wish there was an easier way to do it.  Keyboard command? Icon in the tool bar?  Something other than at the bottom of a long alt-click menu.

Thankfully, in Affinity Designer 2, a keyboard shortcut for Collapse All in Layers Panel can be user-assigned.

Open Edit:Settings...:Shortcuts, select Designer and Layer in the dropdown menus, and then scroll down to find the Collapse All command.

(I chose Ctrl-< as the keyboard shortcut for Collapse All.)

I FINALLY can close all my artboards at once, thank you Affinity! 🥳

I agree with @Jonesy21 and also don't need the layers to expand every time an object is selected. Hoping there's an upcoming option in the works.
