How does one find items that have been hidden deep in nested folders. In really large projects it can be really, really tedious to find and unhide a previously hidden item.

Well there is a sort function for bodies, sketches etc.

Organizing in folders by part type like fasteners etc. Or sub assemblies

I agree and have asked for a different eye icon on folders if there are items with their visibility off inside of them.
