I have several collections and noticed that whenever I move an object (that I have already rigged and animated) from one collection to another, the keyframes dissappear from the dope sheet and the time line. The animations i made are still there but the keyframes are gone. Also my summary is empty. I've searched the internet and haven't found anything, neither scrolling up nor 'show hidden' helped. Does anyone know how to get my keyframes back?

  • $\begingroup$ Did you try right click on the collection name and choose "select objects"? Sometimes it refreshes the UI. $\endgroup$

Found it. Sorry it too so long. You have filters enable. Select the filter drop down in the dope sheet and you will see this:

fitler dropdown

I've highlighted Collection in red. The filter is preventing you from seeing any animation data except for object in Collection collection. Click the 'x' and you'll be able to see everything.
