About the Universal Model Editor

The Universal Model Editor enables you to quickly create a variety of detailed diagrams and models, including BPMN diagrams.

Each shape in the diagram or model you create is its own artifact and can have its own traces, discussions or attachments. Model artifacts are great visual references for stakeholders and a powerful way to communicate solution intent.

The model artifact has the following shape libraries that you can use to visualize your solutions:
