zoom out

Hello Team,

Will love to have the ability to zoom out a little more while working with huge workflows, to easily maneuver around the page.

Thanks

    Hi,


    Thank you all for your feedback and votes.

    Earlier this year in April, we did add another 2 levels (out) to the zoom in the designer. I understand this may not suffice when navigating incredibly large workflows, but we needed to balance between seeing more and still being able to see the actions and branches with enough clarity.

    To further help with navigation, we did introduce the "Actions in use" panel, which allows designers to search through the actions in their design - this includes custom names and the default action name. Clicking on the action will navigate you to its location in the workflow design. Please see this help topic for more information: https://help.nintex.com/en-US/nwc/Content/Designer/ViewActions.htm


    Regards,

    Kate

    I agree, I'm having trouble navigating large workflows with the current smallest zoom setting.

    Please...<3 This would make working so much easier. I agree that there is too much space between steps on the canvas if it branches out.

    Using the zoom function in the browser is a good workaround for me. I personally would suggest to make the bounding boxes less 'wide'. Would be great if the user could adjust 'spacing' between the boxes within the designer, e.g. like Outlook 🤔

    We've upgraded workflows with 450+ actions during our Upgrade Center pilot and being unable to zoom out a lot is a serious user experience limitation.

    This would be really nice, as would using smaller or square boxes for each action, similar to the O365 version. Parallel paths, state machines, anything with branches, is hard to work with when you can only see two or three branches at a time. To make it worse, it sometimes loses the bottom scrollbar so you have to save, close, and open again to navigate. I haven't opened a ticket for that because I don't know how to recreate it.
