Cannot drag web parts
I've recently faced with this problem. My solution is so;
- Open the page in edit mode
- Edit the webpart which you want to move
- On the webpart properties section (which is on the top right of the page) Expand "Layout" section
- On Layout section, there is two option
- First one Zone selection. If you want to move the webpart to the different zone, select the desired zone
- The second one is Zone Index. Use this if you want to change the order of webpart. For example you have two or more webpart in one zone. So you could change the webpart order
Drag and drop of web parts works for me in Modern pages. You have to make sure you grab the "move" icon in the edit panel to the left of the web part (between the edit pencil and the delete trash can).
In classic pages, you need to make sure there is a space to receive the web part. I usually have to put in a couple of carriage returns where I want to drag a web part to and then remove them after dragging the web part into the spot.

Hi
Sorry I should have said I am working with classic sites with a web part page. As you say Juan it should just work but isn't for me. Can anyone please see if it is working for you?

What is the latest on this? One of my customers is reporting the same issue - we can no longer move web parts on SharePoint classic publishing pages in SPO. Any guidance? I am going to ask customer to open a support ticket.
