Hey Lucid Chart Builders. This feature would make this product absolutely amazing!
I find that when I am in a process or presenting a workflow that is longer I have to scroll back to the swim lane titles to see which swim lane I am in. If the swim lane title could scroll with you as you move kind of like how in an excell document or google doc you can freeze certain rows or columns that will always show as you scroll right or down that would level up lucid chart to the next level of dynamic documentation. Thank you!

Without this feature the second you scroll to the middle of a process diagram everyone (except the person in charge of scrolling around) loses track of the context of what they are seeing. This is very frustrating.

Agree with everyone in this chat. Sorely miss this feature and it is a huge and critical gap from making this a wonderful product. Looking forward to improvements.

Can we get an update on this feature request if you are actually going to add it to the design queue or another alternative such as a watermark in the swim lane? When presenting larger swim lanes it is virtually impossible to know which lane you are walking through.
Hi@tina baker , thanks for your question! This idea has been marked for “future consideration,” which means that the product development team isn’t currently working on this but might revisit in the future, and you’re welcome to continue adding feedback to it.

This feature is ABSOLUTELY necessary!
This feature is really needed!
A lot of our processes extend beyond a single screen or we have more swimlanes than fit to a single screen. Specifically while driving process mapping sessions virtually, it gets confusing for the team when I have to stop and scroll back to where the swimlane header is so we all know who is performing the activities in our process diagrams. The team is always asking these questions during our calls, to check who the activity box is for. And I always have to double-check that I’m adding a new activity box to the correct swimlane by panning out and back in.
Another problem is on RACI templates or any chart, for the same reason. It’s difficult for the team to reference or make updates when we have to keep scrolling all the way up to view the headers to make sure we are populating the information in the correct column.
Thank you.
