  • check_circleA Solutions Library of 19 pre-built templates, with a guided setup that creates every node and connects them in a single all-or-nothing operation.
  • check_circleThe Solution Editor — a left nodes panel, a canvas with Fit On Screen and a Detail level slider, node statuses, groups, and automatic connection scanning.
  • check_circleSolution statistics and activity logs that combine Automatizer, Email Sequence, and Online Form output in one place, and a Solution Manager option in User Roles that grants edit rights.
