2. Click Lanes, Add Lane.

   Note: Alternately, you can click the Add Lane button on the toolbar.

   A new lane is added to the Main Editor panel.

2. Click Lanes, Insert Lane, click Insert Lane on Left Side or Insert Lane on Right Side.

   A new lane is inserted.

   A lane is inserted above or below the existing lane based on your selection.

   Note: The minimum width of a swim lane is 50 pixels.

You can remove a lane from a process by merging it into an existing lane. When merging a lane, you can merge with a lane either to the left or right of a vertically oriented lane or to above or below a horizontally orientated lane.
