- | * **Undo**: Un-does the previously made change to the model. | ||
- | * **Redo**: Re-does a previously undone change. | ||
- | * **Cut**, **Copy** and **Paste**: These three are not yet implemented in the Model Editor. | ||
- | * **Delete**: If the currently selected model element can be deleted, this button deletes it. | ||
