FAQ

How do I use this?

Thats the cool part about it, you don't have to do anything, after adding the package to your project every time a scene is opened / closed all the expanded items and selection will be restored.

How I can turn off?

If its annoying for some reason, or someone don't want to use on your project you can quickly disable it by the menu Tools/Scene Keeper/Hierarchy/Keep Hierarchy, this will disable it.

Can I disable just the selection?

For sure the options is there on the same menu Tools/Scene Keeper/Selection/Keep Selection

Can I disable the selection at runtime?

Yes! If you don't want your selection be stored from runtime you can disable it here Tools/Scene Keeper/Selection/Ignore Playtime Selection, so seleciton will be only stored / restored at editor time.
