Whats more, check out our sticky containers which &#8216;understand&#8217; how grouping in BPMN works like in Pools, Swimlanes and Processes.<\/p>\n<p>BPMN notation can get complex. Off the 12 core shapes, there are so many various modifiers that you can apply making finding and drawing the diagram a headache.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve simplified it with our awesome properties panel. So take a process and change the properties to make it have a different task type, make it loop etc.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EGpNMdUKVhg?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Our text based KObjects makes modifying complex objects like choreography a walk in the park.
