UML model-to-diagram synchronization

The contents of the semantic UML model are synchronized with the corresponding diagrams by default. This canonical behavior means that any changes that you make to the model are reflected in the diagrams, and any changes that you make to the diagrams are reflected in the model.

Canonical behavior occurs in specific elements in a UML model. You can disable the canonical mode for specific diagram element compartments, such as a state region and an activity partition. Canonical mode is always enabled for all list compartments and interaction diagrams.

When the canonical mode is turned off, changes that you make to the semantic model are not reflected in the diagram. The ability to turn off canonical behavior is useful if you import Rose models, which have no canonical reflection of semantic content.
