# Improvement ideas

1. Allow users to use hotkeys while building control flow & automation.
2. Змінити назву екшенс на іншу?
3. Проговорити шо таке Core. Можливо змінити назву, чи додати слоово компонентс зверху
4. Сделать каталог Products на верхнем уровне. В него перенести Integration, Automation, Query, Connect, Backup, Common Product Features
5. Небольшое несоответствие в нейминге. Знаю продукт еще сырой, но поправить можно. Automation vs Automations.
6. Параметры, variables и тд сейчас описаны в ДатаФлоу но используются и в дата флоу и в контрол флоу и в аутомейшн. Вынести.
7. Смерджить agents в connections.
8. Actions перенести в connectors. Подумать над тем чтобы смерджить коннекшенс и коннекторс тоже.
9. Mapping Editor и Connection editor вынести в Common Product Features.
