Can be changed later:

View » Board Planning Mode, commands that support interactively changing the shape are available in this mode:

  • Redefine Board Shape - select this command to interactively draw a new shape.
  • Move Board Vertices - select this command to interactively modify the shape of the board by moving vertices or sliding the edges of the shape.
  • Move Board Shape - select this command to move the complete board shape to a new location in the workspace. Note that this command only moves the board shape, other objects that have been placed in the workspace are not moved. To move the board shape as well as all placed objects, select everything to be moved and use the Edit » Move » Move Selection command (switch to 2D Layout Mode first). Taken from Altium Tech Doc.
