Move/Order/Reorder: Story Setting Attributes
To reorder/move a story setting attribute and its contents to a different place in the Story Settings/Story Settings View:
Use your mouse to hover over or tap(mobile) the story setting attribute to display its drag/move icon found in its upper left corner.
Click and hold with your mouse or touch and hold(mobile) the move icon to drag/move.
Drag and drop the story setting attribute up or down in the current story setting or to a new place in a different story setting where you want it.
If the place/story setting where you want to move/drag and drop the story setting attribute to is hidden off the viewing screen/area.
Drag/move the story setting attribute to the edge of the screen in the direction you want to go and the screen will automatically scroll to allow you to drop/place it.
Changes made are automatically saved for you.
You can always reorder/move story setting attributes at any time, or move them to another story setting to try different things.
Note: Dropping a story setting attribute outside of the Story Settings Work Area or outside of a story setting will return it to its original location. So when in doubt, drag the story setting attribute out of the work area or outside of a story setting and it will return to its original location.
We use move/drag icons for story setting attributes because it's easier for users and it allows our software to work on all smart devices of any size, smart phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and to use on any operating system.
Limits
We know of some limits within the Story Setting Attributes area, that we will be addressing with future updates.
We will be adding another new way to move and reorder Story Setting Attributes to be released in this next version.
