How do I move sections up or down on the page?

Don Segien_2pap59

There has been a recent change to the page layout UI.

When I click on the page layout button at the top of the page, a new section is added to the page. The new section includes a mini formatting window that allows me to choose column arrangement for the section.

I cannot find any way to move sections up or down. (The page layout panel that used to appear at the top of the page no longer exists.)

I'm afraid "sections" have been removed in the new editor. We can't do them any more. The layouts are a weaker version of them, supporting 2 or 3 columns and without any move function.

(I want sections back - the power they had for easy reformatting was far better than layouts)

@Don Segien @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- thanks for the feedback here! On our public roadmap here https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/confluence-cloud-editor-roadmap-967314556.html we call this out as something we're keeping an eye on to see how we can improve the ease of moving layouts around a page.

Thank you. This is a very useful feature. Please bring it back.

You legitimately removed the best feature of the editor when you decided to stop letting us easily move the layouts up and down with a click.

Who could have possibly though that was a good idea?

@Avinoam It makes no sense to remove a must-have functionnaly and then "keeping an eye on to see how we can improve the ease of moving layouts around a page."

Why don't you remove sections (layouts or whatever) alltogether while you're at it.

You guys obviously didn't have UAT on this by the ones that actually use and edit pages.

Need I say more ?

I agree!

Agreed, the layout feature is far too limiting. So many little things that aren't featured in Cloud (but you can do in server) that don't make sense to me as an end user to remove.

This function is available again! 2 ways to do it:

Select the whole lay-out by clicking in between columns
drag&drop the whole layout. (not super fluent yet)

Also: copy/cut/paste works on the full layout.

Select the Lay-Out by clicking in between columns
command-X / command-C
Select the Lay-Out it should move to
command-V

As of 2020-12-11, Cut/Paste for a layout worked for me after I clicked the layout on the border. >>You have to be very precise, clicking once on the border.<<

Cut/paste works here, but the single click on the border makes no sense and took a minute of concerted effort to figure out the behavior, which is not intuitive.

Thanks Rosa for pasting this trick. But wow, what a sh*tty interface design if this highly touchy/sensitive, super-hidden Easter egg is the only way to get to this function.

I can't believe how horrible this is! Are you guys serious??? who are the parties that approved this??? Totally disregard for CX. Sorry to say it, but it is pure trash!!
