 Hi

I want to be able to shade the body / background of each swim lane to be a different color.  However I only seem to be able to color the title of the swim lane not the body itself - am I missing something?

Hi, and thanks for your post! To set a color for an individual swim lane, click once to select the entire swim lane shape, then click again on the header of the individual lane that you'd like to style. From there you can change the color of both the header and lane using the swim lane menu on the right side of the editor. I’ve demonstrated this in the GIF below:

Regarding deleting an individual swim lane - simply right click on the lane you want to remove and select Remove Lane from the menu.
