Relative newbie here. . .I did search online and in the community.

The “Move” and “Cut” commands are missing in my dropdown, see picture. I am the owner of the file and the I have published the components I am trying to move. How do I get them back?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @sminne, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the confusion!


I just tested this using my own components, and this seems expected that Move and Cut are not available in the right-click menu. You need to use Move and Cut shortcuts instead.


To move a component or component set:



  1. Open the file where the main component lives, this is the origin file.

  2. Select the main components or component sets you want to move.

  3. Use the cut shortcut to add them to your clipboard:



  • Mac: ⌘ Command - X

  • Windows: Ctrl + X



  1. Open the file and you want to move components to, this is the destination file.

  2. Make sure you have nothing selected, then paste components into the file.



  • Mac: ⌘ Command - V

  • Windows: Ctrl + V
