Set default document zoom when published

Is this feature coming soon?

Hi Megan

We're always looking to improve and your feedback helps us  keep developing a useful and effective product. I've submitted your idea to our product team on your behalf and it will be taken into consideration when prioritizing improvements. 

For anyone else with a similar request: please submit your feedback using this feature request form to provide additional context and support for this feature request. We would also love to hear additional detail about your use case see an example of what you're hoping to achieve or learn about a workaround you've discovered in the thread below. Thanks for your request!

I'm also really interested in being able to set the default zoom -- it's especially important if you're embedding the content elsewhere like a website.

Hi Gina

Thank you for posting in the Lucid Community! With our Area Selection Publish Feature you can select an area that you wish to see when publishing.

This feature is not available however while embedding. I think this would be incredibly helpful and I would love if you would submit a feature request form so we can look a bit further into implementation of this feature. I appreciate you taking the time to let your voice be heard within our Community! Cheers!

Hi @Phillip W - following up on this request to be able to set the "Area Selection Publish" feature for embedded documents.

thanks

Hey Gina

Thanks so much for following up! Our devs have a rigorous work load of request that they have to work through. I will continue to provide updates on the progress of this request as details are made available to me. 

Thanks again Gina--Cheers 🍻

I need this zoom feature as well.  I know that it has been submitted as a requested feature already.

Hi Darin thanks for voicing your support for this request - I've logged your feedback for review which our development team will utilize when prioritizing improvements to Lucidchart. 

We're also very interested in being able to set a default zoom and also to have the opportunity to lock zoom when changing from one page to another.

When we're linking to a different page in our Lucidchart documents using action-buttons the zoom often changes a lot. Meaning that the user experience is not nearly as good as it could have been if the zoom could only have been set to a default level.

Hi Cathrine

Thanks so much for voicing your support of this feature! I've logged your feedback for review which our development team will utilize when prioritizing improvements to Lucidchart. 

I would also like this I have a flowchart with multiple pages and there are hyperlinks between the pages but when you click on one it doesn't automatically zoom out to give the full page view. This default zoom is exactly what I need. 

Hi Eleanor thanks for voicing your support for this request - I've logged your feedback for review which our development team will utilize when prioritizing improvements to Lucidchart. 

I have been using Lucid Chart for about a month total over the past 3 months or so and I like a lot of the features with this but there is a problem using this tool. Just like this thread stats the zoom and location of view moves and that needs to be fixed. When using interactive links to cycle between pages the image keeps moving down slightly and if you click at total of 5 times back in forth the image keeps lowering down the page. Also the view is not always zoomed in correctly. I have try to figure out different ways to make this happen and then I found this feed. Seeing how the first request about this issue was 4 years ago and I can’t seem to see if it has been fixed. The major issue is that I can not use this tool if we can’t get this locked default view. I’ll keep messing with this for a little while longer but I hope very soon we can get this fixed before I have to start up with a different software tool.

Hi @Nate, thanks for continuing this thread. I would encourage you to upvote this feature request to indicate your support setting a default zoom - this is a valuable indicator of support for our development team. 

To help me fully understand what you’re describing, can you confirm what tool you’re using to to “cycle between the pages?” Are you using hotspots to navigate to a different page and back, and upon returning, the view (both zoom and location) are different? If you’re willing to share a “before” and “after” screenshot, that would be very helpful!

We really want this to get fixed as well.

When sharing our published file URL, users see it 4% zoom out as default. This is frustrating because we worked months on this diagrams and now they look extremely small when other people sees them for the first time, and they have to manually zoom in every time the open the link.

Hi ​@erick.talamantes, welcome to the Lucid Community! Thank you for sharing your own experience with this! We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products.
