• Unselectable, you cannot move it around the diagram and the only right-click operation available is to make the element selectable

This option has no effect on double-click operations on the element, such as displaying child diagrams

• Lists the objects by Z-order in the Modify Z Order dialog

In the dialog, you select the required object and move it up or down in the Z-order using the Up and Down arrow keys, each click on an arrow key changes the Z-order by 1
