Performance using layers

Question

Hi,I’m using Lucid to create a flowchart with swimlanes to visualise the end-to end process of product delivery. As this process has many variations and teams involved, I’m using layers and actions (toggle) to show various sections of the chart. But I’m wondering if there’s a limit to the manageable number of layers and actions.Currently I’m at almost 70 layers with probably the same amount still to come. Today it feels very slow with Chrome already saying that the open Lucid tab is using a lot of resources, recommending to close it down.What is the advised maximum number of layers to use?Is there another way to easily visualise the entire process flow?Thanks!Jasper

Hi ​@Jasperand ​@rebecca.s, thank you for posting in the Community. While we do not have a limit on how many layers you can have in a document, having many page tabs, large canvases on each tab, and a high number of shapes on each canvas all increase the time it takes to load and update when changes are made.You mentioned you currently have 70 layers in your document - the slowness may be coming from this if you have a high number ofshapes in each layer.If you are working on a very large document, you may consider breaking it into several smaller documents to improve performance. This Help Center article has more information on troubleshooting steps you can try.I hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
