Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, which makes me assume this is a glitch. When I try and drag and drop slides in the panel to rearrange the order, I’m unable to do so. Please help. Thank you.

Hey ​@Eric_H! Thanks so much for your post.

 

From what you described it sounds like you are trying to drag panels in the sidebar on the left, correct? Are the panels you want to move grouped under a parent slide? I did a bit playing around with slides and noticed that I can’t always drag a nested slide. However, if I click a non-nested slide and drag it (I don’t actually need to move it anywhere, just drag it enough to see the horizontal blue line show) and then click and drag the nested slide it will work. 

 

It was actually a bit simpler to move slides around in Grid view, though that might just be me. Click the grid icon on the top left of the editor to switch to that view, then click and drag slides wherever you’d like. Grouped slides are a horizontal row, with the left-most slide being the parent slide. You can see an animated image of switching to grid view in the help article on organizing slides.

 

Let me know if you still have trouble and we can go from there!
