You can click that grip to simply relocate the end or beginning point of the profile. Now there's also a square grip at the midpoint of each of the tangents. If you move that grip, it changes the location of the tangent while maintaining its grade. Now moving left to right also relocates the PVIs on either end of that tangent.
