Not gonna lie sometimes these flows get pretty big when there are multiple lanes and many steps in the process. As I am walking leaders through the flow is there a way to lock the titles on the left hand side of the screen so you know which swimlanes are in play while you scroll to the right? Presenting these virtually usually leads to zooming in so others can see this on their screens.I've taken to color coding groups but always having the title come across would be a lot smoother. Think locking the first row of cells in Excel

Alternatively, is there a way to also display the swimlane labels on the right side of the swimlane too?

Hi ​@Ambar D , is there any alternative to show, frozen the lane titles or show them somehow along all the flowchart then? This would be very very helpful, and a great improvement. Thanks!
