Sometimes by accident I click the Auto-Arrange button instead of the pan tool and it scrambles my workflow structure. There is no undo button/action so I am forced to go into version history and thus loose all my latest changes.

Yeah that button is a bit of an explosive IED that I try to avoid too. I clicked on it by accident too and it fubar’d my agent’s blocks as well.

UX wise its way too close to the Pan/Select tool buttons. Its too easy to accidently click it.

Definitely needs an undo or atleast a preview how it would reorganize everything before it actually reorganizes blocks.

I’ll be real with you guys - everytime I see a workflow like this I get really nervous. Does this agent need to be so complex? Are there ways to simplify it? Should this agent be broken down into smaller agents?

@jerry-mindstudio  
It is really groovy. DM me and I will send you the link to give it a spin. Had to be this way as far as I could reason out. May have been a way to consolidate one of the sections but I needed to give the teacher options for levels of control and speed, along with multiple input types (docs, url and picture). Yet, I am very rookie so maybe you take a look and let me know of how it can be more efficient. But yes, all the steps does drive up the cost quite a bit.

Todd’s workflow doesn’t look too bad imo, it uses jump blocks and seems fairly straight-forward.

My own workflows are quite small and often crammed into the visible view, but even then the auto-arrange will spaghettify my blocks in a way I didn’t want.

Would be easy to fix the UX by just moving the auto arrange button far away, may into the top right corner and have a ghost-preview of what would happen before confirming to click it.
