How Do I Move Sections in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 12:10 am

There are two ways to move sections in Squarespace:

1. To move a section, hover your mouse over the section’s name in the left sidebar. When the move icon (the cross with arrows) appears, click and drag the section to its new location.

2. Alternatively, you can click the section’s name in the left sidebar to open its settings panel. Then, use the Section Order field to change the order of your sections.

Section Order

The Section Order field is located in the settings panel for each section. To access a section’s settings panel, click the section’s name in the left sidebar.

Reordering Sections

If you want to move a section without opening its settings panel, you can click and drag the section name in the left sidebar.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to move sections around on your Squarespace website, be aware that this can potentially cause problems with your site’s layout and functionality. Before making any changes, we recommend backing up your site and testing the changes on a staging site or in a local development environment.

The best way to move sections around in Squarespace is by using the Section Order field in the settings panel for each individual section. You can also click and drag sections without opening their settings panels, but this may not always be accurate.
