Hi I don’t understand this new shape in my menu, a black pool box - what is it for?
You need to add definition for all shapes when hoovering on them ofr instance, that would be more useful.

BPMN Shapes - Black pool
+1Best answer by Micah
A Pool has two basic representations – “white-box” and “black-box”. White-box representation shows the internal details of the Pool, whereas a black-box representation hides any processes.
Black-box representation is best used when the Pool doesn’t reference a process but only an external process participant. Therefore, black-box pools are commonly named according to the process participant they represent, whereas white-box pools are commonly named according to the contained process.

Hi
This is a great idea that Lucid could use to make improvements for all shapes in the future
Adding short, helpful hints that pop up when you hover over each element would make the user experience much better - especially for those who aren't familiar with the symbols used in business process mapping.
Would you prefer adding your idea in the below navigation to get this registered in your name.

+1as a non english speaker that flies above my head. Do they mean black pool are for external participants to a company like suppliers?
+20Hi
To summarize, a black pool is a pool where the contents is either unknown to you or out of your control, or irrelevant. Use it in a diagram when you want to refer to an external participant whose processes are out of your control or irrelevant to the diagram you are making.
