As Shiva has mentioned, we want to do both adding and displaying process
models in the same UI, diverting from the current model of ES to have a
separate publisher and a store. An example requirement would be: a user
browsing a process model may want to add some details to certain sections
of the model, so that he should be able to do it from the same UI.
Similarly, a user may want to add a specialized version of a currently
displaying model. Therefore, I think the adding/editing functionality has
to be provided in the same UI, controlled by user's authorizations.

Chathura
