Which of these features should you use for a connection you want to deemphasize?

• A. Annotation
• B. Bookmark
• C. Vertex
• D. Tunnel

Answer: (D)

In FME Workbench, using a tunnel is the way to reduce visual clutter by deemphasizing a portion of the workflow while keeping the data flow intact. A tunnel wraps a segment of the network so that, on the main canvas, you see only the entry and exit points, not every intermediate transformer and connection inside. This makes the overall path easier to read when you want to focus on the broader flow or when there are many steps in the middle. You can still expand or inspect the internals when needed, but by default the tunnel keeps the inner details from competing for attention. Annotations are just notes and don’t change how the path is displayed. Bookmarks save a view of the canvas. Vertices are points on a geometry or line, not a mechanism to control diagram emphasis. So the tunnel is the right tool for deemphasizing a connection.
