If you selected a single polygon, click one of the shape points of the polygon and
drag to change its bearing or angle, the leg length, and polygon area on the map.
Reshape the polygon by dragging any of the points in the polygon to a new location.
When you select a shape point of a line segment within an active polygon, a small
green circle indicates the start end point of the selected line segment and a small red
circle indicates the last end point of the selected line segment. Select the
Coordinate option or the Distance and Bearing/Angle option and edit their
numbers. Click Apply to initiate the changes.

next to the Bearing or Angle text located below the distance text in the Distance and
Bearing/Angle option. You can also delete points and line segments from or add
points to a polygon.
