It might be nice if the tasks and workflows were visually more different from inputs/outputs. Maybe tasks/workflows use rectangular boxes and inputs/outputs are circular...? Also using different color hues would help. This would allow users to more easily spot and distinguish them.
Also, the pagination mechanism for workflow steps is quite unorthodox. I had trouble understanding how it works, especially since the button jumps around. Could we have a more traditional pagination mechanism that we use e.g. for the tables? It would feels more natural at least when dealing with serial workflows, but I'm not sure if it really works out for workflows that combine serial+parallel tasks...
I attached a mockup of an alternative that I would propose to solve these two issues. What do you think: how hard would it be to switch to it and do you see any problems with this new layout? We can also discuss this together with others.
When you click on a task or an action, you transition to see it in more detail. It was not clear to me how one could navigate back to the previous view, until I realized that by clicking on the task/workflow circle you go back. I think it would be more logical to have the back/forward mechanism that we had before. What was the reason for removing it?
