4.24 Moving Tasks, Branches and Comments Using Drag-and-Drop

What is the simplest way to move tasks, branches and comments?

When you want to move a given task, branch or comment, the simplest way is to use drag-and-drop. Note

that contrary to the cut and paste method, the drag-and-drop method only lets you paste tasks, branches and

comments to the current process.

When you move a task, branch or comment using drag and drop, it typically moves from its original location

to a position immediately preceding the target onto which you dropped it. But if you drop an input task over

an unknown input task, the moved task will replace the unknown task. The same will happen if you drag an

output task over an unknown output task. Note that it is impossible to drag-and-drop any task over a

configured initial input task.

When you move a branch, all its tasks are also moved. When you move a conditional branch, all the tasks

appearing on the True side of the condition are also moved.
