Move Block Elements with Keyboard Shortcuts

When you are moving block elements, it's important to note that you can only move an element up or down at the same level in the overall topic structure. This is by design, as it ensures that you do not move elements into positions where they are not allowed. For example, you can move a step in a procedure up or down in the procedure order, but you cannot move the step outside of the procedure.

To use keyboard shortcuts to move block elements:

  1. Select the element you want to move in the topic.

  2. Use the keyboard shortcuts to move the element.

    Move up is Alt + Shift + ↑ (Windows) or Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + ↑ (Mac).

    Move down is Alt + Shift + ↓ (Windows) or Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + ↓ (Mac).
