Zoom In and Out on a Diagram

Zooming in and out of a diagram is helpful because it allows you to focus on specific details when needed. It helps you understand the smaller parts clearly. On the other hand, zooming out gives you a better overview of the entire diagram, showing how all the pieces connect and fit together.
