Reference/Release Notes/2.91/User Interface

= Blender 2.91: User Interface =

Outliner

 * Collection colors: object collections now have a color tag, set from the right-click menu.




 * Move mode toggling to the left column. When in non-object modes, icon buttons are shown in the left column for toggling modes. Clicking a dot icon will switch that object to become the new active object, ctrl-click adds the object into the current mode.


 * Add left and right walk navigation. When the active element is expanded, walking right will select the first child element. When the active is closed, walking left will select the parent element.
 * The collection exclude checkbox was moved to the right with the other restriction toggles.
 * Use shift-click on restrict icons for setting visibility and selectability of bone children to be consistent with objects and collections.
 * Drag & drop for modifiers, constraints and grease pencil effects.
 * Drag within the object or bone to reorder
 * Drag to another object or bone to copy
 * Drag the parent element (Modifiers, Constraints, or Effects) to link all to the target object or bone.
 * Use the right-click target element to determine the type of context menu. For example, a right-click on a modifier will show the modifier menu even if objects are selected.
 * Display grease pencil modifiers and shader effects in the tree
 * Object data (can now be dropped into the 3D Viewport to create object instances), especially useful for orphan meshes, curves.. etc.
 * Rename "Sequence" Display Mode to "Video Sequencer"

Property Search
Search is now possible in the property editor, with automatically expanding and collapsing panels. `Ctrl-F` starts a search, and `alt-F` clears the search field. 

Tabs without search results will appear grayed out in the tab bar on the left. If a result is not found in the current tab, the search switches to the next one with a search result.
