Missing basic features in Power Automate for Desktop

Question

Hi,

I'm struggling with the flow creation in PA for Desktop as it misses 2 crucial features in it.

1. It is impossible to recognize what actions do (like 'Send mouse click') as there is no option to comment or rename it.
2. While in 'Send mouse click' we have a dynamic hint what is the position of the cursor - that's great. However, in 'Extract text with OCR' the is no such hint although we need to give 4 not just 2 X's and Y's. We need to use either an external tool to check the coordinates or switch back and forth 'Send mouse click' and write down on a piece of paper like in the Middle Ages.

Any chance this can be improved?

Maybe other actions need to be improved similarly but this one I have used personally.

Thanks,

Igor
