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
I'm also experiencing this sort of problem, and the zone-related work arounds are not possible.
I'm working with an extensive SharePoint site for a client, using Office 365.
After moving to 365, i used the Classic view to set up a custom "Default Display Form" in the "Form Web Parts" drop down on the "Customize List" section of the "List" Ribbon. I currently have nine (9) custom lists displaying as Web Parts, and am trying to add a tenth (10th).
In this edit mode, there is only one "Zone" ("Main"), so i can't change the zone to rearrange the order.
As others have observed, hovering over the Web Part title changes your cursor to a "move" pointer. In the past, this has worked for me. However, today it doesn't work in IE 11, Edge 41, Chrome 69, or Firefox 62 on Windows 10.
Any ideas?
