Option to Highlight the Main or Happy Path in Action Flows

Problem Description

When working on complex action flows in Service Studio, it’s often hard to visually identify the main path, the sequence that runs when everything goes right and no exceptions are thrown.

Once an action starts to grow with multiple if nodes, exception handlers, and different branches, all the lines look the same. This makes it difficult to quickly understand:

  • Which path is actually executed most of the time

  • Where to safely add new logic

  • Where performance-heavy steps should go

  • How the flow is intended to run under normal conditions

This becomes even more confusing when maintaining someone else’s work or revisiting a module after a long time.

Idea / Proposed Solution

It would be extremely helpful if Service Studio allowed us to highlight or mark the main execution path inside an action flow.

Some possibilities:

  • Manually select certain steps and mark them as the “main flow,” so they get a subtle color or visual emphasis

  • Dim non-main branches for easier reading

  • Add a toggle to show/hide highlighted paths

  • Or even allow Studio to auto-suggest a main path based on the straight-through execution sequence

Even a small visual cue would make a big difference when reading or designing large flows. I believe this small enhancement would significantly improve the experience of working with complex action flows, especially in enterprise-scale applications.
