How was the top-level “TOGAF” element created (encircled with red in the image)? I did it with the togaf wizard, but how would I create it manually?

The item you highlighted is automatically create from TOGAF Guide-through process and unfortunately it cannot be manually create by user. I’m sorry about this limitation.
