On an M3 macbook here, cannot figure out how to zoom the advanced flow, like I did on Windows. Any help? How do I do this? Edit: The issue is persistent across browsers for Homey only. Zooming the whole browser window is easily accomplished, but not the ‘canvas’ for the flow. The issue is not present in MS. Office we apps, not present in map services (tried: Google Maps, Open StreetMap) , not image services like Google Photos, not editors like Overleaf etc. Hence; While not a problem with the device it presents as a platform dependent problem for Homey’s web app. ---

Will this help you? > **[Zoom in and out on what’s onscreen on Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mchl779716b8/mac)** > > On your Mac, use your keyboard, mouse or trackpad to zoom in on part of the screen. You can zoom in and out by tapping on your trackpad. 1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/f/9f08a4da92087fc85aa3f1dda1ec47d9cdb89f07.png) \> System Settings, click Accessibility ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/88bc9ff8c38929691b82a15c5c48611bc0c4dcd3.png) in the sidebar, then click Zoom on the right. (You may need to scroll down.) 2. Turn on “Use trackpad gesture to zoom”. 3. Do any of the following: - _Quickly switch between zoomed in and zoomed out:_ Double-tap the trackpad with three fingers. - _Zoom in and out gradually:_ Double-tap the trackpad with three fingers and drag. ---

Alas, no. This zooms in on the entire screen. On Windows I can zoom out to see my entire flow using ctrl+scroll wheel. This does not affect the zoom of other parts of the web app. I would love to do the same on mac. At least on Chrome and Safari I cannot do so. ---

I’m at work and only have PC here. Have you tried Option key (located between Ctrl and Apple key)? ---

Doesn’t look like a Homey issue to me. If I remember it is the same as zoom in fe a browser and zoom in Google Maps. ( but I am not a regular Mac user.) Nevertheless @Dr.Broccoli pls mark the most correct answer as a solution. ---

Sadly, no modifyer key and plus/minus works. That zooms the web-page, not the flow. ---

I disagree. On Google Maps, for example, zooming and scrolling the map works well. Other websites where scrolling and zooming in a part of the website (like the canvas here on Homey, the PDF and code in OverLeaf or the map on OpenStreetMap) work well. Just not here on Homey in any way I can find. Tried all modifiers and combinations thereof. Option, control, shift and command/super Both in combination with scroll wheel and +/- ---

What browser did you use on windows? Because when I zoom on Windows with ctrl+scroll it is the same as pinch or cmd±/+ on Mac ---

100%. You can zoom in the advanced flows, without shrinking the entire interface, can’t you? ---

I dont have a MAC, but for PC, I have a trackwheele in middle of mouse. It moves the flow screen up and down. If I hold shift and trackwheel, it moves the flow screen left and right. If I hold the ctrl button and use the trackwheel, it zooms in and out. Maybe that works for the MAC? ---

Nothing happens when CTRL/OPTION/COMMAND-scroll on the advanced flows. The usual action to zoom on a canvas in Mac is to “pinch” the trackpad - this also does nothing. The work around (for me) for now is to zoom the entire browser to 50%~, allowing a much better overview of the flow. This however also zooms the interface/menus, making it hard to make out text/navigate the page. What I am looking for is a way to only zoom the canvas, while leaving the interface/rest of the page in its normal size 🤔 ---

Also on a Mac M1 and unable to zoom in/out on the canvas, hopefully this can be updated in the near future, used several browsers, all the same [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/zoom-in-out-advanced-flow-on-mac/115072.md?page=2)
