Smaller architectures (under 50 resources).
Quick scanning of all resources.
Finding resources by scrolling.
File-Grouped View
This view organizes resources by their Terraform file assignment, with collapsible sections for each file. This view is ideal for:
Larger architectures with many resources.
Viewing resources by logical file organization.
Understanding file structure.
For architectures with many resources, File-Grouped View automatically activates to improve performance and navigation.
Visibility States
The Resources list displays different messages when:
No Resources: "Drop a resource on the canvas."
No Visible Resources: When all resources are outside the visible canvas area, you'll see a
