How do you add scroll bars to the Workflow canvas in Analytics Workbench?

I keep losing sight of the nodes when using the mouse to navigate.

    If you select page level zoom from the toolbar it'll zoom and centre on all your nodes:

    Hi Phil, unfortunately you can’t add scrollbars. It’s kind of an ‘infinite canvas’ that you pan and zoom around.

    Hi Nico,

    Can the nodes on the canvas be re-shown by using the [Tab] key, or, at least, a thumbnail of the nodes be displayed, so that I can find them again when they are no longer on the visible canvas, please?

    Another option would be to have markers on the edges of the visible canvas to indicate that there are nodes in that direction, but out of sight?

    I have foolishly converted a large EG project, where the Workflow created shows only a few nodes on the visible canvas, but without any indication of where the others are located!

    Thanks in advance…………Phil
