Select the Block

Before moving a block, make sure you have selected the correct block. While you can select most blocks by clicking on them once, some blocks are nested (i.e., contained) inside other blocks, so let’s explore different methods to select the correct block you wish to move.

Select Blocks Using List View

To access List View, click the icon that looks like three horizontal lines above each other at the top left of your screen:

Three offset stacked vertical lines, to represent the List View.

This will show you a list of all the blocks you have inserted into that page or post, so you can select the block you wish to work on.

In the image on the right, we can see several blocks nested inside a single Column, inside a Columns block. So, if we wanted to move both Columns and all content inside of it, we would click on the Columns block that contains everything else.
