  Adjust Box Placement: Open the workflow in the graphical editor and manually adjust the positions of the boxes to reduce the distance between them. Ensure that they are closer together and properly aligned.
  Reorganize Workflow: If the workflow is complex, consider reorganizing it to make it more compact. Group related tasks and events closer together.
  Check Zoom Level: Adjust the zoom level in the SAP GUI to see if it helps in visualizing the workflow better. Sometimes, changing the zoom can help in repositioning elements more effectively.
