Move screen controls

You can move screen controls to a new position whenever you are in Layout mode. You can use the alignment guides to help align and position screen controls in an orderly arrangement.

Move a screen control

Do one of the following:

Drag the screen control to a new position in the workspace.
Select the screen control, then press the arrow keys to move it in the workspace.

You can constrain the movement of screen controls to either horizontal or vertical by pressing Shift while dragging them.

If a screen control overlaps another screen control in the workspace when you switch from Layout mode to another mode, an alert appears, asking if you want the overlapped controls to be highlighted so you can adjust them before leaving Layout mode.

Move multiple screen controls

Do one of the following:

Shift-click the screen controls, then drag them to a new position.
Hold down the Shift key as you drag around the controls, then drag them to a new position.

If the panels for the screen controls are merged, rubber-banding selects the entire panel. You can constrain the movement of screen controls to either horizontal or vertical by pressing Shift while dragging them.
