Edit underlying model of application?

I just started playing with the application builder. First off, it is very cool! I think the potential here is huge.
However, it appears to me that once you start programming an application there is no way to go back and edit the model it is based on. Is this correct?
So if I spend hours (or days) fine tuning the application interface, then decide I would like to add an additional post-processing feature (or something much more complicated like an additional physics node), it seems I would have to start the app development over from scratch.
If that's the way it is, so be it. Just want to make sure I'm not missing something. Thanks.

Hello Ted,
Glad you're enjoying the Application Builder.
You can in fact modify the underlying model even after you started using it for an app.
Whether you are in the Form Editor window or in the Method Editor window, click the "Application Builder" button on the ribbon (it's the leftmost one), and you're back into the environment where you can edit your model (It's essentially the "good old" GUI with the model tree enriched with the nodes corresponding to your app and an additional Application tab and at the top): the Application Builder window.
Have fun with it!
Jeff
