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.
