SHIFT+C in SW does the trick.....

Currently, there is no shortcut or direct option to collapse.
you can open and close the file to achieve it.

Just better organization would help. Instead of making copies of components at the top level, make them subcomponents with the same parent.

A better browser would also help! Neither the browser nor the timeline provides a lot of functionality to manage complexity. We get ever more sophisticated tools to create complexity, but the toolset to manage that complexity is underdeveloped!

A collapse/expand-all function is not exactly very sophisticated either!

Thanks @etfrench

Good idea and I've tried it. I'd rather just have a list view of second level comps. That works for me.
