-			If [code]true[/code], automatically expands property groups in the Inspector dock when opening a scene that hasn't been opened previously. If [code]false[/code], all groups remain collapsed by default.
+			If [code]true[/code], automatically unfolds Inspector property groups containing modified values when opening a scene for the first time. Only affects scenes without saved folding preferences and only unfolds groups with properties that have been changed from their default values.
+			[b]Note:[/b] This setting only works in specific scenarios: when opening a scene brought in from another project, or when opening a new scene that already has modified properties (e.g., from version control). Duplicated scenes are not considered foreign, so this setting will not affect them.
