    The Unity hierarchy panel needs the following feature improvements:

    1. A clickable icon or right click menu on the gameobject name to "Lock" the gameobject from being altered. This avoids the continual issue of modifying the gameobjects that are correct.

    2. A clickable icon or right click menu on the gameobject name to close/fold the parent and all children gameobjects. For some reason, the hierarchy panel loves to open every gameobject in a scene, which is horrendous when there are hundreds of gameobjects.

    3. Advanced search to locate every gameobject with a specific component, or a component with a specific value or range of values. When hundreds of gameobjects are listed, its horrendous to find what is desired.

    It's a crime that other CAD and graphic tools have the such features, but Unity editor does not have these features.

    Current package: Unity 2019.2

    If you hold the Alt key down when clicking the foldout it will apply the change to all the children as well.

    Have you tried using the quick search feature?
