The Navigator's Move Or Copy Pop-up Menu

The Navigator offers two distinct drag-and-drop methods to move or copy Subparts within the Section:

  1. Left-Click Drag-and-Drop: This is the standard method to copy or move Subparts, executed by clicking and dragging the selected Subpart to the desired location. Upon release, a confirmation window appears stating that the Subpart has been copied or moved. 
  2. Right-Click Drag-and-Drop: This method provides more precise options than the standard Copy or Move commands. Execute this option by right-clicking and dragging the selected item to the desired location. Upon release, the right-click pop-up menu opens allowing you to copy or move the selected Subpart before, into, or after another Subpart.
