Moving, copying and pasting swimlanes

You can move an individual swimlane to another location. You can also move the entire set of swimlanes to another location but it is not possible to move several swimlanes out of the whole set at the same time.

Your can move or copy a swimlane and paste it to the following locations:

Diagram What happens...
Different When you move or copy a swimlane or set of swimlanes to another folder or diagram, the symbols that exist inside the swimlane(s) are not copied.
Same When you move a swimlane within the same diagram, you change the order of swimlanes inside the set of swimlanes. In this case, all symbols inside the swimlane are moved at the same time (even if some elements are not attached to the swimlane). This is to preserve the layout of the diagram.

If you move linked processes inside a swimlane, the width or height of the swimlane varies to include all attached processes.

Note   Auto-Layout function
The auto-layout function is unavailable with organization units displayed as swimlanes.
