Rearranging Elements

Moving containers moves their children. Open Structure , expand source/destination branches, drag the row to the intended insertion point, and save. Indentation shows parent relationships.

The new parent changes layout context, potentially changing dimensions, alignment, or spacing without altering local values. Invalid nesting prevents drops. Flex reversal/grid placement can display a different order from Structure.

See layout controls or Copy and Paste for cross-document movement.
