Multiple Ways to Zoom
Sitemap Editor provides multiple ways to control your view of the canvas, so you can always work at the zoom level that's most comfortable for your current task. Whether you prefer using the mouse, keyboard, or on-screen controls, there's a zoom method that fits your workflow.
Mouse Wheel
Scroll to zoom in/out
Keyboard
Ctrl + / - / 0
Toolbar
Click + / - buttons
Pinch
Two-finger gesture
The floating zoom toolbar at the bottom of the canvas shows your current zoom level as a percentage and provides quick access to zoom controls. Click the minus button to zoom out, the plus button to zoom in, or click the percentage display to reset to 100%. The zoom level is displayed in real-time as you adjust it.
💡 Pro tip: On touch devices, use the pinch gesture with two fingers to zoom smoothly. This feels natural and gives you precise control over the zoom level.
Zoom Range and Steps
The canvas supports zoom levels from 30% to 200%, giving you a wide range for both overview and detailed work. At 30% zoom, you can see large sitemaps in their entirety, making it easy to understand the overall structure. At 200% zoom, you can focus on individual nodes and their details with complete clarity.
Zoom changes happen in 10% increments, providing a good balance between precision and speed. Each zoom step is smooth and animated, so the transition never feels jarring. The canvas automatically adjusts to keep your focal point centered during zoom operations, so you don't lose track of what you were looking at.
Persistent Zoom Settings
Your zoom level is automatically saved along with your sitemap data. When you return to the editor, it opens at the same zoom level you were using before. This persistence also applies to the pan position, so you'll find yourself exactly where you left off, ready to continue working without any adjustment needed.
Combined with the auto-save feature, this means you can close the browser at any time and pick up right where you left off. The entire canvas state — including zoom, pan position, and all node positions — is preserved automatically.
