Favorites

The Resources window contains a Favorites folder. Here you can hyperlink to any UML element from the model as a whole, and conveniently drag and drop instances or links to this element into other diagrams. This is particularly useful where certain elements - such as the list of Actors in a system - are re-used again and again, and switching to the Actors folder is not convenient. In cases like this, using the Favorites folder makes managing and creating your model much easier.
