Move pages around

Updated Oct 18, 2026

Reorder pages, nest them, or move them to another collection. NoteMaker warns you when a move changes who can open a page.

Drag and drop

In the Pages panel, drag a page and drop it:

  • on the top edge of another page to place it before that page,

  • on the bottom edge to place it after,

  • in the middle to nest it inside that page as a sub-page,

  • on a collection's name to make it that collection's last page. This works for sub-collections too,

  • on the Pages heading to take it out of its collection.

A collapsed collection opens by itself when you hold the page over it for a moment. You need edit access to the place you drop into.

Use the menu instead

Every page has a β‹― menu in the tree and in the page's top bar:

  • Move up and Move down change its order.

  • Move out of parent brings a sub-page up a level.

  • Move to collection… or Move to… picks the destination from a list. This is the way to go on a phone or with a keyboard.

  • Add an existing page as a sub-page is in the page's menu.

When a move changes who can open the page

A page takes on the sharing of the place it goes to. Moving a private page into a collection shared with the whole workspace makes it visible to everyone in that workspace.

So before such a move, NoteMaker asks: Change who can open this page? It says what changes, for example that more people will see it, and offers Cancel or Move anyway. Moving a page up or down within the same place never asks.

⚠️

Sub-pages move together with their parent. Their own sharing settings are not compared, so check them if a sub-page was shared on purpose.
