## Light linking
Light linking's UI is pretty clunky at times, requiring selecting the light you want to work with first. Estella makes this easier by bring the light and shadow linking panels to Scene properties, with a UI to make selecting lights easier!

## Light Groups
Estella makes working with light groups less of a chore, by making it both easier to make and view light groups. With Estella, you can hide a group of lights in one click, and isolate to a specific light group in another. Renaming light groups is now made easy with a simply UI, and same with removing.
