Hello everyone,
I’m working with n8n and often find myself waiting for visual ‘animation progress’ in the Editor mode to complete, even though the backend process (e.g., node execution, API response) seems to be finished quickly. This significantly slows down my workflow.
Is there a setting or a workaround to disable or drastically speed up these animations in the n8n Editor? I’m currently running n8n via Docker and exposing it using Ngrok, if that context helps.
You could open a feature request for this. This is most likely a quirk in the editor where it gets “stuck” on the animation even though the workflow itself is already complete.
You may have already sorta said why it hasn’t been a priority to fix: “the backend process … is finished.”
Generally, workflows wouldn’t normally run from the editor except for testing. When a workflow runs from a trigger, there isn’t any kind of editor or animation attached, unless you open a running execution.
When the animations get slow like that for me, I usually fully reload the page, or even restart the whole browser and it will be better for a while.
