I am zoomed out a couple of levels when I use the browser - I can’t see enough on my screen when I run the desktop app.

Apart from that I love it.

Same! Really like the idea. My Asana often gets lost among many browser tabs. But I have my Chrome zoomed to 80% to see more in Asana. Without that ability in Desktop I’ll probably continue using the web-based version until it’s available.

Hi! Do you know if this has been added? I’m asking because somehow my desktop app is “zoomed” in, and I am not sure how to get it back to 100%. Not sure if it’s a “Windows” thing or Asana thing . . .

Hi everyone,

Just managed to zoom out Asana Desktop, hope it will work for you:

- Go to Admin console and here you have Zoom function which works for entire Desktop app:

Thanks for this! I had noticed “Zoom” under “Window” which didn’t seem to do anything. This helps a lot.

Click on your avatar in the upper right. The menu that appears has “Admin Console” in it.

This was not helpful because my Asana app in Windows does not even have that menu at all and it is not to be found in the Admin Console either. The only thing that worked was using the short code ctrl +/- That allowed me to zoom out. I accidentally zoomed in and had no way of figuring out what buttons I accidentally pushed. So FYI for people who can’t find the menu pictured, simply use the short code CTRL + OR -

On a full keyboard, using the -/+ on the numeric keypad does not work. only the ones on the base block work. A little frustrating.

Only the + and - located near the backspace work, not the ones on the number pad.
