Frequently Asked Questions

Do shortcuts work in the Standard Builder?

Not at launch. They are exclusive to Advanced Builder, with Standard Builder support on the roadmap.

Will shortcuts override my browser's keys?

Only when the builder canvas is focused. Global browser shortcuts like ⌘/Ctrl + T continue to work.

Can I customize or disable shortcuts?

Not yet. A preferences panel for custom key-mapping may come in a future update.

How do I copy a branch into another workflow?

Press ⌘/Ctrl + Shift + C to copy the branch, open the destination workflow via Workflow Switcher in a new tab, then ⌘/Ctrl + V to paste.

Does Delete All Actions downstream remove waits and goals?

Yes. Everything connected after the selected node is removed. Check the highlight preview before confirming.
