Sometimes, you may need to change how buttons are arranged on a page.

Folder in edit mode, with two buttons selected

In Edit Mode, there are a few options for rearranging buttons. You can either drag and drop buttons or use the tools in the Edit Mode toolbar to move them. (Note that buttons with a green star or ’T’ in their top right corner are part of the folder’s template. These buttons cannot be moved in the regular Edit Mode.)

Swap buttons

To swap the location of two buttons by dragging and dropping:

Tap Edit in the bottom toolbar to open Edit Mode.
Tap and hold one of the buttons until it begins to wiggle.
Drag your finger to the location of the button you want to swap it with. Then, lift your finger from the screen.

To select two or more buttons and swap between their locations:

Tap Edit in the bottom toolbar to open Edit Mode.
Tap each of the buttons you want to swap to select it.
Tap Swap in the Edit Mode toolbar.

Move a button between two other buttons

In most folders, you can drag and drop a button between two other buttons.

Tap Edit in the bottom toolbar to open Edit Mode.
Tap and hold the button you want to move until it begins to wiggle.
Drag and drop it between two buttons. If you want the button at the end of a row, drag it between the last button in the row and the right edge of the screen. If you want the button at the beginning of a row, drag it between the left edge of the screen and the first button in the row.

Note: It is not possible to drag and drop buttons between template buttons. It is also not possible to drag and drop buttons between spaces in folders where Manual Layout for Each Grid Size is activated. If Manual Layout for Each Grid Size is on, you will see multiple empty grid spaces in Edit Mode when you scroll to the bottom of the folder.

Alphabetize buttons

Select Edit in the bottom toolbar.
Tap the buttons you want to alphabetize to select them. Or, tap Select All then tap any buttons you do not want to alphabetize to deselect them.
Tap Alphabetize in the Edit Mode toolbar.

Move buttons in Manual Layout for Each Grid Size

If Manual Layout for Each Grid Size is enabled in a folder, you can still use the Alphabetize and Swap functions. You can also drag and drop a button into any of the empty grid spaces. You will not be able to drag and drop a button between grid spaces.
