Arrange feature in new UI?

Hi @timbo4 ,

Unfortunately, the move and arrange feature as you know it from the old doesn’t exist anymore. 

you can re-arrange in the new by specifying pixel location (on my mobile, so can’t share a screendump). If you’re used to the old feature then you probably won’t be happy with the new alternative. I’m personally not a fan and miss the old function.

Hi @timbo4 ,

The "Arrange" or "Move" feature is not directly available the way it used to be in the old VEC UI.

• Use "Edit > Modify Element"

  • Right-click or click on the element.

  • Choose “Modify > Insert Before/After” to simulate moving.

  • You may need to delete and re-add the component in the new location if the "move" option is restricted.

• Use the Code Editor

  • Use the "Edit Code" option to manually change the HTML structure if you're comfortable.

  • This is often the only way to “move” a component when visual tools are blocked by page structure or security settings like CSP.

• Switch to Enhanced Composer (for SPAs)

  • If the site is built on a SPA (React, Angular, etc.), the VEC may not allow traditional drag/move actions.

  • In this case, use Form-Based Composer or Enhanced Experience Composer (EEC).

Tips:

• Ensure your site allows DOM manipulation.

  • Check CSP settings in your browser console; strict security headers can block VEC functionality.

• Try with a different browser or disable browser extensions that might block scripts (like ad blockers or tracking blockers).

A quick update on this one, as the UI has been updated to include an "Arrange" option which does the same thing as the previous functionality - it allows to change the position of siblings. Instead of a drag-and-drop now you have two options: Move backward and Move forward.

I liked that move feature too...albeit a little sketchy when trying to drop into the right location. If they could just keep it but improve the placement of items based on your page grid or template - that would be great.
