Collapsing Actions
As you begin creating longer workflows, you may find that you're scrolling a lot to reach an action. There is a solution to this tedious task. Automator makes it easy to collapse individual actions, enabling you to view more of your workflow at a time, which means less scrolling. Collapsing an action condenses the action's interface down to a single title bar, hiding the action's settings, options, description, and so on.
To collapse an action in the workflow area:
Double-click the action's title bar (Figure 4.47).

or
Click the small disclosure triangle to the left of the action's name in the title bar.

To expand a collapsed action in the workflow area:
Double-click the title bar of the action (Figure 4.48).

or
