    Click the artifact ID link of the artifact you want to open.

    Blueprint offers the outline view for the diagram artifacts. View the full list of supported artifact types.

  2. ClosedOpen the outline tab in the utility panel.

    1. Click the outline tab icon.

      You can also point to the tab icon to view the name of the tab.

You can expand and collapse the sub-artifacts in the outline view in order to navigate the hierarchy. For example, all Lanes in a business process diagram can be expanded to view the sub-artifacts contained within the lane.
