Description

I've seen several first-time users try to move steps in flows and:

  • They maintain click on the move button to move steps
  • When they understand you have to click and release, they try to click on the step they want to replace, which has no effect
  • The paste buttons help since they have the paste icon, but their tooltip is "Add branch"

Suggestions:

  • Change tooltip
    and:
  1. Either display "Release button to move step" when holding click on Cross icon
  2. Either display "Click to move step" when hovering on Cross icon, but this one could confuse too
  3. Change the system to drag and drop steps to change their orders when holding the cross (most intuitive)
