When I have my q-links set to “screen control” - in arrange view show helpful things like horizontal and vertical zoom. But now in Grid view the horizontal and vertical zoom have gone from the q-links. If I try and edit the q-links (which I’ve never done before) - it gives no options for screen control - all the q-links are greyed out and if you select one it doesn’t give any options to edit it.

Any ideas or sugestions to get the Zoom qlinks on the Grid View ?

It's a bug, I have definitely reported this previously. No workaround for Grid View itself as you cannot edit 'screen' pages, and 'zoom' is not an available macro parameter for adding on other Qlink pages. There is a workaround for horizontal zoom though, go to ARRANGE, use the split screen view to display the grid at the bottom of the screen, drag it up to take up 80% of the screen and now use the horizontal zoom Qlink . Vertical doesn't work here on the grid itself, so you'll need to pinch the screen for that.

Q-link edit, use the project 2 screen, it has blank q-links for your own q-links customizations/creations there.

Default “Screen” page on q-links is for screens you move in and out of, not editable.

No need to address a solution that’s already there. You just need to see it, and use it.
I’ve made some good macros with those q-links, ie, options on top of options on top of options on 1 q-link.

There’s no zoom option to choose/place there.
