In this page, we will have an overview on how administrator and team members can work together with Visual Paradigm’s team collaborative features, and to clarify some of the major concepts in collaborative modeling.
Very often when a project was started for some time, a lot of model elements are created, and most of them are placed at root.

All these can be achieved easily by writing your own templates, or by editing those pre-defined.
