Concrete example: You are building a marketing automation:

  • ⌘ + S → save your changes

Result: a complete automation, built in record time.

📘 Notes & Limitations

  • Availability: currently reserved for the Advanced Builder (soon available for the standard builder).

  • Selection required: some shortcuts only work on selected nodes.

  • Compatibility: combinations may vary depending on your system (macOS, Windows, Linux) or keyboard (AZERTY, QWERTY).

💡 Final tip: memorize these three essential shortcuts:

  • ⌘ + S (save)

  • ⌘ + C / V (copy-paste)

  • 1 (view adjustment).

This trio is all you need to instantly increase your speed and fluidity.
