One of the best things about the block editor is how easy it is to rearrange elements on a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 3 ways to do this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrows on block toolbar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The block toolbar has a pare of arrows , one pointing up and the other down, which allow you to move blocks up and down. In a gallery or column block the content will have left and right arrows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drag the Toolbar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Again using the block toolbar you can grab the block and drag ir with the drag handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the Document Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can also select and drag blocks in the document overview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method is particularly useful as you can select multiple blocks by clicking one, then clicking a neighbour with the shift key down. You can then move more than one block at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
