# Move pages around

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 **⋯** 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.

> [!warning] ⚠️
> 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.
