Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) shapes
Use the BPMN shapes to generate diagrams for your current business processes and model the future state of the business processes.
BPMN shapes in Enterprise Modeling and Visualization
You can add a shape to the canvas by either selecting the shape or by dragging the shape from the Shapes palette to the canvas.
You can also adjust the size of shapes by selecting a shape and then drag any of its edges or corner handles. Pulling outward increases the shape's dimensions, while dragging inward reduces its size. However, BPMN-Event and BPMN-Gateway shapes can’t be resized.
