Outline Editing Commands
In Outline Editing mode the arrow keys have different behavior:
Left Key
Collapse expanded rows
Right Key
Expand collapsed rows
Up Key
Move up by row
Down Key
Move down by row
Space Key
Toggle rows done status
The row commands described in the Text Editing section work differently too. They work on a row and all contained rows, not just individual rows. Movements are also restricted to the outline structure.
Outline > Duplicate (Command-Shift-D)
Outline > Delete (Command-Shift-K)
Outline > Indent (Control-Command-Right)
Outline > Outdent (Control-Command-Left)
Outline > Move Up (Control-Command-Up)
Outline > Move Down (Control-Command-Down)
Give it a try. Create a small outline and then try the above commands. First in text editing mode, second in outline editing mode. You'll soon see and understand the differences. Outline Editing mode can save a lot of time.
More Outline Editing Commands
Some command work the same in both modes:
Outline > New Row (Command-Return)

Outline > Sort Rows
Sort top level selected rows, or if only a single row is selected then sorts children of that row.
Outline > Group (Option-Command-G)
Inserts a new row above the selection. And then moves the selection into that new row.
