# Canvas and configuration area

The canvas and configuration area is how you interact with and modify your process. To create your BPMN diagram, drag and drop elements from the shape repository to the canvas.

Below are a few actions you can perform in the canvas and configuration area:

* Rearrange and change attributes.
  * Select a specific component to change its attributes.
  * Click the whitespace surrounding the diagram elements to modify the attributes of the entire model.
* Add comments.
* Hover over element labels to view a brief description of the element details.
