Transform subprocess (collapsed) into subprocess (expanded)

You can transform an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type into an object of the Subprocess (expanded) type.

In BPMN, a distinction is made between objects of the Subprocess (expanded) type and objects of the Subprocess (collapsed) type.

Procedure (quick video)

  1. Open a BPMN diagram with an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type.
  2. Click this object.
  3. Activate the BPMN tab bar.
  4. Click Activity Activity > Expand subprocess Expand.

You have expanded an object of the Subprocess type.

An object of the Subprocess (expanded) type can be collapsed to an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type. The symbol automatically changes accordingly. If the subprocess is expanded again, the objects are shown, but the assigned model remains unchanged. The subprocess can only be changed using the assigned model.

Tip

You can transform an object of the Subprocess (collapsed) type into an object of the Subprocess (expanded) type by clicking the Expand subprocess Expand symbol.
