Auto-Highlight in Outliner is an add-on that automates object localization within Blender's Outliner panel. When an object is selected in the 3D viewport, the tool automatically expands the Outliner hierarchy to instantly reveal the active item. This eliminates the need to manually execute the show-active command, streamlining navigation in complex scenes with intricate object relationships.

The tool includes an optional "Collapse Other Collection" toggle, which automatically collapses all unselected hierarchies to maintain a focused Outliner view. The add-on supports multiple outliner panels across different windows, accommodates right-click selection workflows, and includes experimental support for expanding armature bones while in pose mode.
