    Would love to see some improvements to the Addressable Groups window, mainly a way to group Addressable Groups into categories / collections to make things more manageable. We are just starting out on this new project and going to be ramping up on the number of groups we have very quickly, so it would be great to organise them in the inspector a little better to make life easier when using the window.

    I bounced this idea off of the team, and they are fascinated by the idea. Could you share your ideas for how a specific workflow would be setup, and what all you'd think you'd want/need?

    We would love to see the following:
    • Collection system - Users can create editor only collections, which group multiple addressable groups and can be folded / expanded as required (buttons to expand all and fold all would be useful).
    • Draggable groups into collections for easy manipulation
    • Buttons to add/delete groups
    • Be able to rename groups
    • Search option to be able to filter through all groups by collection name and group name (and would be great to have more defined, so we can say search for "l:ThisIsALabel" to return all collections which contain groups with those labels).
    • Select multiple groups and context menu "Add to Collection" which will allow you to add groups into a new collection with the provided name.
    Workflow wise we have a lot of bundles in our project right now, and it is growing almost weekly now (and will continue to). We need to be able to organise these into say "Games", "Seasonal Content" "Core", etc. All new groups would be then added into our collections so the team can easily find and update the groups they need.
