Inserting an Existing Process in a Diagram

Insert an existing process from the model structure into a BPMN diagram.

Context

You can drag an existing process from the model structure into a BPMN diagram. It does not matter whether the diagram already contains elements or not. However, this determines whether the process is already shown in another diagram.

The process is not yet shown in a diagram:
The process is then inserted as a defining view in the diagram and can be modeled there.
The process is already shown in another diagram:
The process is then inserted as a referencing view; you can only change the layout or hide the element.

How to proceed

Select the process to be inserted in the model structure and use drag-and-drop to place it in a free space in the BPMN diagram.

The process is inserted. This may cause other diagram elements already there to be moved so that the process is not shown as overlapping.
