To edit an existing diagram, you can either edit the macro in Edit page mode or use the Edit diagram - button in page view. On the left side you have a palette including the BPMN 2.0 elements - simply drag and drop them on the canvas. Element types can be changed via the wrench symbol at each drawn element individually.
For a perfect modeling flow, you may append the next element directly from the last added element by clicking on the suggested options to continue. This will also automatically insert connecting flow elements.
There are tools to optimize your modeling experience.
These two can be found in the left pallet:
Space Tool: add or remove space between elements
Lasso Tool: capture and selection of elements at once
Additional functionalities are accessible via the navigation bar:
Undo and redo your last changes (via Edit)
Reset the diagram (via File)
