Hello Carlo, the parenting/unparenting functions are available. However, not all objects are supporting them.
Try the following example: * Switch to the UML objects * Add a large package to the diagram * Add a UML component to the large package (move it inside) * You will notice that the large package is now the parent of the component, you cannot move the component outside of the large package * Select "Unparent" from the menu. * Now you can move the component outside of the package. * You can use "Parent" again to keep the component inside the package. * You'll also notice the difference from grouping: When grouping objects, their relative positions are fixed. Parent/child options can be moved (You can move the component inside the package), You are right, this functionality is not mentioned yet in the documentation.
