The idea is:
When I share a workflow with an external user, there’s always a need to point out specific nodes that need editing/modifying before the workflow can run:
- Credentials, source references or node variables that need to be adjusted
- Suggestion which nodes can be replaced or removed
- Noting where changes should happen if workflow behaviour or extension is required.
It’d be great if I could document this in a sticky note and have a local anchor to a node in the workflow which when I click it, the canvas will auto zoom, pan and light up the target node like a christmas tree🎄.
Example:
## My Sticky note
...
* Your can edit this [LLM node](#node-<uuid>) to customise the prompt to
extract more attributes.
My use case:
Scenario: Trying to direct the user to open a node but it’s quite a large workflow.
Me: Up a bit, down a bit, left a bit, a bit more … no, you’ve gone too far, back to the right. yes that one, Ah nope, not that one back to the left a bit more…
User:
I think it would be beneficial to add this because:
For new n8n users, I think it’ll help immensely with the onboarding experience. For workflow template creators, it’ll reduce the need to additional stickies (ala makeshift signposts) and manual walkthrough.
Any resources to support this?
My own experience.
Are you willing to work on this?
I probably will give it a go, if I find a few hours to spare.
