change control hierarchy

Posted on by

I feel like this should be fairly simple, which is why I feel stupid asking.

There is a hierarchy tree on the left side of the studio controller. I want to take objects I have created and change where the sit in the hierarchy. 

For example: The if I want a scrollable canvas of controls, the controls have to be on the canvas. However, I have controls that are not on the canvas, but on the background. I want to move those controls from the background to the canvas so they scroll with the other controllers without having to entirely recreate them.

    You can try to cut the controls from outside the canvas and then paste it inside a card within the scrollable canvas. I'd recommend you to save the app before that, as I've seen some issues with copy/paste operations in the past, though.
