Dope Sheet outliner

The Dope Sheet outliner hierarchically represents the attributes of selected objects. The Dope Sheet outliner organizes attributes in groups according to type and object. This lets you manipulate entire collections of attributes at once. For example, all of the rotation attributes of objects listed in the outliner are summarized and available for manipulation in the Summary group Rotate. The organization of this grouping descends as follows:

Tip: You can include assets in the Outliner layout if you turn on the Display Assets option located in the Graph Editor section of the Animation (Settings) preferences.

Outliner groupings

Summary

All keys all selected objects by attribute type.

Objects

All the keyed attributes for the selected objects in the Dope Sheet outliner.

Compound attributes

All the individual attributes of a particular type, such as translation, rotation, and so on.

Attributes

Individual attributes are the lowest level of the Dope Sheet outliner hierarchy.

Note:

When summary, object, and compound attribute groups are collapsed in the Dope Sheet outliner, attributes within a collapsed hierarchy are not selected and therefore not edited when you do actions in the view area.
