How can you visually debug an Alteryx workflow?

Utilizing the Debug Mode feature to step through the workflow is a powerful method for visually debugging in Alteryx. This mode allows you to run your workflow step-by-step, enabling you to observe the data as it flows through each tool. By activating Debug Mode, you can see the output of each tool in real-time, helping you identify where any issues may be arising in your data processing. This visual approach provides clarity and insight into how data transformations are occurring and facilitates troubleshooting by making it easier to pinpoint the specific steps that may not be functioning as intended.

The other options, while they serve useful purposes, do not provide the same level of interactivity and stepwise examination as Debug Mode. For instance, the Quick Preview feature offers a snapshot of the data at various points in the workflow, but it does not allow for an in-depth, sequential analysis that Debug Mode provides. The Auto-Save option helps in saving your progress automatically but does not assist in debugging. Examining Log files can provide information on errors and workflow execution, but it is less intuitive and lacks the visual, interactive aspect that Debug Mode offers, making it harder to diagnose issues directly in the workflow context.
