Hi,  
I’m building activities for my students. I would like them to interact with graphs using zoom (like in desmos calculator). When I Include graphs in an activity (in desmos.teacher) the zoom disappears. It’s possible to have it back?

Thanks a lot for the help!  
Elena

The zoom is available when you make it a full-screen graph (see the options in the three dots menu). Full-screen graphs cannot be present with other components though, so there’s a trade-off.

You can make your own action buttons, or clickable polygons, to act as zoom features. I’m sure there is someone who has already done this.
