Moving elements with new VEC UI

Avatar

Level 2

The new VEC UI seems to have made things even harder for those that aren't developers. Previously, there was the ability to move elements on a page. I can't find how to do this on the new UI.  Anyone have any idea? thanks

There is also an arrange option, which allows for forward and backward movement, behaving similarly to up and down. Try using that. I had a carousel component that I rearranged on the page using this arrangement option.

I don't have a solution, just seconding this. The new UI makes things quite challenging for marketers/non-devs.

The old feature of moving components/elements is no longer supported by the updated UI. The best you can do is add a blank HTML section with the insert before/after option and paste the HTML code for the component/element there and remove the original placement. This is odd, but that's how I am following as well.

So far the best I've found is to copy the HTML from the element you want to move, paste it elsewhere on the page, then remove the original element. This is not ideal and leaves plenty of room for error, so be careful if you use this approach. I agree that this was straightforward in the old UI, but not easy at all after the update.

I am having the same issue. I tried inserting an XF with my offer in it but it doesn't react correctly.

You might need to be careful pasting your <div> section. I suggest trying to copy the HTML part from the original page instead of inside from Target UI
