Hi mates, I'm moving to approach the v2 and I can't figure out how can I manage the sizes of buttons in the way I like, on v1 I could do it easly, move buttons between each other, enlarge the field. Here I can't find a way to move anything. I've tried to find a tutorial in youtube but no one has got that need yet.. ☹  
Thank you for suggesting

Are you using Firefox? If so then it is likely this issue [Node-red dashboard layout non-editable - specificly Firefox · Issue #1645 · FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard · GitHub](https://github.com/FlowFuse/node-red-dashboard/issues/1645)

Personally I don't usually bother with the WYSIWYG editor. I generally size the widgets in the config, reorder in the dashboard pane on the right hand side and manually insert spacers when necessary.

thank you fro clearing, yes it's because of that. I'm using a Chrome based browser now and I can move buttons, it's impossible without this feature.  
Honestly I love much more the layout construction with Dashboard1, there aren't so many issues as here during the process, I'm spending more time correcting. I hope soon to see the better features (comparing v1) appearing )

It is possible without the feature. You can move them in the dashboard pane at the right hand side.
