Hierarchy
The Hierarchy section is a tree view of all the items that are on the stage, arranged by their parent/child relationships.
Each row in the Hierarchy section represents an item on the stage. A circle button with an arrow appears next to items that have children nested under them. This button allows you to expand and collapse the list of children.
To change the parent/child relationships of objects you can either drag and drop, use the Pick Parent tool (press
P to active it), or use the Pick Child shortcut (press C to active it).
