Following a connection, aka untangling the pasta

AKB

Good morning - I inherited a large workflow from a colleague and would like to 'untangle' it, similar to a cleaning up a bunch of cables all spaghetti'ed together. Is there a way to follow a connection? Is there a way to hide all the upstream tools from this connection? This would make following the workflow much simpler.

 

Thx,

Might have cut the picture a bit much.

But for example I currently have the macro input selected, from the menu in the far left the third option the circle with an arrow in.

From there I can then dubble click the tool I want to look at

and then I would end up at the next tool in the list in this case the formula tool:

Hello - yes, this is the core functionality I was looking for, namely to follow connections. It even expands a closed container if the tool that is gone to resides in a currently closed container. Thank you -
