# How to Reorder Steps and Sections in a Pathway

# How to Reorder Steps and Sections in a Pathway

## Overview
The order of steps in a Pathway is the order learners work through them, so getting the sequence right matters. SuperPath lets you reorder steps and whole sections by dragging them, or — if you prefer precise control — by switching on the arrange controls and using move buttons.

## Reorder by dragging
1. Open your Pathway in the builder and find the step or section in the left steps panel.
2. Hover over the row — a drag handle appears (the grip-lines icon on a step, the bars icon on a section header).
3. Drag the step to its new position and release. Drop a step under a section header to move it into that section, or between sections to move it out.
4. To reorder a whole section, drag it by its section header — its steps move with it.

Your new order saves automatically.

## Reorder with the arrange controls
If dragging is fiddly, use the move buttons instead:
1. In the steps panel, click the **Arrange Steps** button (the expand-arrows icon on the **Pathway Overview** item at the top).
2. Each step and section now shows an expand-arrows menu. Open it to move that item:
   * **Move to top** / **Move up** / **Move down** / **Move to bottom**.
   * For a step inside a section, you'll also see **Move above section** and **Move below section** to lift it out of the section.
3. Click **Arrange Steps** again to switch the controls off.

## Things to keep in mind
* Reordering steps returns a published Pathway to a draft (unpublished) state, so remember to publish again once the order is right.
* Moving a section moves all of its steps with it.
* When you drag a step into a section that already contains the same content, SuperPath blocks the duplicate and keeps the step where it was.

## FAQs
**Does reordering change anything for learners already assigned?**
Reordering unpublishes the Pathway; the new order takes effect for learners once you publish the updated version.

**Can I move a step out of a section?**
Yes. Drag it out from under the section header, or use **Move above section** / **Move below section** in the arrange controls.

**Is there an undo?**
There's no dedicated undo — simply drag or move the item back to its previous position.

## Who can do this
**Owners**, **Admins**, **Managers**, **Content Managers** and **Instructors** can reorder steps and sections in a Pathway. **People Managers**, **Employees**, **Members**, **Volunteers** and **Restricted** users have read-only access to Pathways and cannot.
