==Moving elements by drag & drop==

By dragging and dropping elements, you can insert them in different hierarchies or simply move them within the same level.

{| {{Bausteindesign2}}
|-
|<span style="color: darkblue">'''Input'''</span> &nbsp;Select the “Mountainbike” element and click on the “Down” navigation arrow.''

|<span style="color: darkblue">'''Input'''</span> &nbsp;Left-click on the icon to the left of the “Bianchi 500” element name and hold the left mouse button down.''
