How to nest using selenium elements C#

I've made a number of tests using Selenium. I was curious if I'm nesting correctly. I'm not sure if there is a better way and if there is I would be happy to hear it.

At the moment I open a PowerPoint session in my start up using the WinApp Driver. Then when nesting I do the following. Here I'm finding an element called Linking. A child of Linking in the tree of elements is Update and so on.

var linking = session.FindElementByName("Linking");
var update = linking.FindElementByName("Update");// within the linking element there is an update button
update.Click();
session.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
var all =update.FindElementByName("All");// within the update element there is a dropdown menu with an "All" button
session.Manage().Timeouts().ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
all.Click();

enter image description here

In a comment, you mentioned the issue with the code was that all wasn't clickable unless you put in a sleep.

Use an explicit wait. Something like: 

new WebDriverWait(session, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10))
    .Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementTo‌​BeClickable(update.F‌​indElementByName("Al‌​l"))

Things might be a bit different for the WinApp Driver, but that's the basic idea.
