Visual reminder: In case the selected object happens to have instances, the widget reminds the user by showing how many instances there are of that object.

Clickable: Users can quickly check the active object associated with instances and complete additional actions using the widget:

• Single click: The object instances are disconnected from the active object and are free to be used independently.
• Shift click action: Makes all selected objects, such as children of the active object.
• Alt-click action: Selects all instance copies of the active object.
• Ctrl-click action: Selects all instances in the document scene without considering type.

Efficiency: The widget provides an efficient method for managing linked data instances, helping reduce time spent working with large datasets.

Intuitive interface: The widget’s straightforward design is simple enough for beginner users but also helpful for experienced users.
