Pools and Lanes can be renamed by double-clicking their label and typing the new lane.

To add a new Lane, right-click a Lane and click "Add Lane". This will create a new lane below the lane right-clicked in. To delete lanes, select the relevant Lane and click either the "Delete" option in the home tab of the menu, or the "delete" button on your keyboard.

Lanes can be collapsed and expanded vertically by clicking the "minus" symbol next to the label of an expanded Lane, and the plus symbol for a collapsed Lane.
