Did you know that you can use Alt + Click on a Step Hierarchy arrow to expand all children located under that node?

For example, Alt+Click the arrow on AirIntake

Will give you this:

Alt+Click on an open node arrow also works as "collapse all"

  Nice tip Gilles, and thank you for sharing! This is going to help me several extra clicks, which can go a long way during complex projects.

  I'm curious to know about your "lightbulb bulb moment," how did you figure out this works?

  @... Happy to hear this was helpful! I found out as I was reading up on some development documentation, and then also realised this wasn't documented for our users yet. So I also added it here as well.

  I knew this would come in handy, Alt + Click also works in the Timeline Editor as well!

  Indeed! And doubleclicking that object in the Timeline Editor, will also select it in the Step Hierarchy.

  Thanks for pointing that out as well! I added both tips to the related article.
