> There is an easy workaround: name your shapes.
Which is not well supported (i.e. no item in the context menu). And when you
create shapes automatically, e.g. per duplication, they do not receive a
default name like Shape0815. Could be done easily. 

Another issue is that a tree indicates a selection capability. You single click
items, with or without multiselection enabled. The double click usually starts
a function, for instance execute the app or load the document in the associated
program for file browsers. Single and multi selection is missing in
Libreoffice. Also there is no indication vice versa when you select more than
one object. The navigator highlights only a single item.

There is no particular help for Draw but it's the same as for Writer, Calc, or
Impress (https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Navigator). Either press F5 or use
the lowest tab. It will show a tree for navigation and interaction (only a few
functions are available in Draw today).
