        2. Click the Edit button (    ) on the Action Bar for the boundary. You will enter the edit mode, denoted by the anchor points located on the boundary's corners.

        6. To save your changes, click the Save button (    ) on the Edit Toolbar, or click anywhere within the space editor, avoiding the boundary line.

        Moving a Boundary
