Reposition items with Drag and Drop

 

You can also reposition search tree items by dragging and dropping - click on the item, and without releasing the mouse button, drag the item to where you want it to go then release the mouse button. As you move the mouse, nodes on the tree will be highlighted, and highlight lines will be shown to help you position the item. You will see a slashed circle if the mouse is positioned over a location where a drop is not allowed.

 

To copy an item, you can follow the same procedure, but hold the Control key down as you drop the item. (You will see a + sign with the Control key pressed).

 

Note

 

When a structural change to a search is made, the Latest Listing timestamps for the search will be reset. Visual, memo, and ordering changes won't affect the timestamps.
