Update

Edit areas later

Polygon areas do not need to be redrawn when one vertex needs a more accurate position. Editing shows distances and angles so corrections remain understandable.

Open the area in the object browser or through object details and switch to editing.
Move existing vertices or add points when the boundary needs to be represented more accurately.
Use side lengths, interior angles and distances to correct the shape in a controlled way.
