Zoom Edge

The Zoom Edge action changes the zoom setting of Microsoft Edge.

Tip: We recommend setting the zoom to 100% for Microsoft Edge when using this action.

Note: You must install the latest version of the Nintex RPA Chrome Extension on your Microsoft Edge browser (version 83 or higher) to use this action. See Nintex RPA Chrome Extension for instructions on how to install the extension.

Using the Zoom Edge action, you can:

  • Automate the zoom magnification of a web page that is open on a Microsoft Edge browser.
  • Choose to zoom in or zoom out of the web page.
  • Set a custom zoom setting.

Some examples of target applications for the Zoom Edge action by adding the action to a botflow are:

  • Setting the browser's zoom to 100%.
  • Zooming into a web page to get a better view of small text.
  • Zooming out of a web page to see the layout.
