You can add more actions by clicking the **+** icon in the workflow graph. You don't need to add actions sequentially: the **+** button is available between existing actions, allowing you to add new actions in the middle of your workflow.

If you need to reuse an action in multiple places, you can **copy/paste** it. This copies an action along with all its property values, saving you the trouble of reconfiguring it. For example, you can copy/paste actions between different workflows, or between [conditional branches](/workflow-management/conditional-branching/) of the same workflow that often end up sharing a part of their containing actions.

#### Collapsing and expanding steps

As you add more actions to your workflow, you'll notice that the workflow graph becomes more cluttered and harder to navigate. This is even more evident when your workflow includes many loops and conditions.
129+
130+
To make it easier to navigate complex workflows, you can collapse steps representing loops, [conditions](/workflow-management/conditional-branching#condition), and [split](/workflow-management/conditional-branching#split) actions.
131+
132+
For example, in the following image, step 7 is a condition with a branch that contains another condition:

If you're not currently working on this part of the workflow, you can collapse it by clicking the collapse icon to the left of step 7:

Click the icon again to expand the condition the next time you need to work on it.

As you build your workflow, you should test individual steps (both the trigger and all actions) in isolation. Once you're done editing and testing the steps, you should also [test the entire workflow](#testing-the-entire-workflow) to make sure that everything works as expected.

If you're working with a large workflow that has many conditional branches and are having trouble navigating between them, consider collapsing steps you don't need to focus on right now, or use the **Tree view** pane.

To collapse a condition, split, or loop step, click the collapse icon to the left of the node. A collapsed node can be expanded by clicking the icon again:
