I build an macro having a lot of input macro files, when i create this the macro button for the same the inputs are too nearby and i can't identify which input to link to which point, can we distinguish the same by doing something ?

Hey @Akashgupta, if I'm interpreting your question correctly then you can help to distinguish between inputs by using a mixture of the configuration and annotations. Depending on which you use will affect the display on the canvas as well as what you're prompted for when clicking on the macro input anchor and so you can use whichever one applies to your need. Here you can see I'm giving each input a clear name which appears in the input anchor prompt, as well as an annotation which is clear for the user when looking into the macro workflow itself:
