How can I move a node to an other flow? I think in former versions you could drag an drop to a flow tab. In 3.1 it does not work like that.

I would expect ctrl-x ctrl-v to work. If not then ctrl-c and paste it, then delete the original. Remember you always have undo if something goes wrong.

If the "other flow" is on a different machine you have to export the node and import it.

Thank you, this is a workaround. But what about drag and drop?

I don't recall drag and drop between tabs ever being a thing we supported, but I'm sure its something that could be considered.
If you wanted to raise a Feature Request issue on [GitHub - node-red/node-red: Low-code programming for event-driven applications](https://github.com/node-red/node-red) to capture it that would be helpful.

Are you sure this used to work? I have just tried it on 1.0.4 and it gets horribly confused. All the nodes disappear, leaving only the wires. Refreshing the page recovers the situation of course.
