Moving Items Up and Down

Outline Fundamentals > Actions > Moving Items Up and Down

When dragging a branch, the highlighting of an item indicates that the branch would be dropped as the last child of that item, and an insertion bar indicates that the item will be dropped as a sibling.  When dropped as a sibling; if the item above the insertion bar is a parent of the item below, the branch will be dropped as the sibling of the item below the bar (which is also the first child of the parent above the bar).  Otherwise, it is dropped as the sibling of the item above the insertion bar.

When dragging, you can scroll the view to an off screen location by positioning you stylus at the top (title area) of bottom (button area) of the view.  The desktop application also supports Alt-Shift-Up Arrow and Alt-Shift-Down Arrow to move items up and down within their siblings.\

Holding down the Control key when dropping a branch will perform a copy operation, instead of a move. A plus sign is displayed with the drag cursor during a drag copy.
