Select multiple blocks to move at once

I wish there was a way to group objects in emails. I use three dividers in my campaigns to create a cool effect, but when I need to move them I have to individually move them, so if there was a way to group them and move them together that would be cool.

Hello everyone,

 

With the addition of sections to the cross-device editor, we're considering this Idea as closed. Blocks can be clustered into sections now, which can be moved, copied, and formatted altogether. Individual blocks can also be dragged in and out of sections.

 

For more info on how sections work within the email editor, make sure to check out our main article on the topic.

Constant Contact, please add this feature! It is painstaking dragging and dropping multiple blocks each time I want to rearrange my newsletter.

Adding my voice to the chorus. Reordering elements in Constant Contact is a gigantic pain.

This function is needed ASAP.  If you want to use an existing newsletter as a template but you want to remove large sections it is tedious and time consuming to delete each block one-by-one.  Can you imagine in Word if you had to delete each paragraph from a long file one-by-one?

When updating a weekly newsletter, events at top are given priority, while events and posts from previous weeks' newsletter are shifted to other sections and this is a tedious and painful task. Moving a chunk of blocks at once is clearly a feature that needs attention. Please consider adding this functionality.

Just commenting to keep this thread alive, the ability to move multiple blocks at once would be such an upgrade!

Will add to the chorus - the functionality we are asking for is incredibly basic but essential. Please!

One more vote to please add this feature! As others have explained, without the ability to move multiple elements together at the same time, modifying a drafted message is unnecessarily tedious with lots of room to make mistakes.

Please add this feature. It would make a huge difference to be able to grab multiple elements at a time (even with something like a shift + click or ctrl + click). Just wanted to add this thread and affirm that this a feature the community wants.

@ConstantContact, it would be great to have this feature. I echo what everyone else has shared here and see this as a big gap in usability.
