    Important:
    • When you create an operation, it becomes the current one and is underlined in both trees.
    • If you add a new operation, it is located next to the current one. There is one exception: if the current operation is Sequence or a Loop, the new operation will be inserted into the Sequence or the Loop. To add a new Main Sequence to a type, the type must be set as current in the right tree.
