Nested blocks

    I think it’s great you can put other blocks inside accordions, but I’ve got nested blocks that I can’t unnest. I saw in another support topic you describe how to do it:

    When you have an accordion block selected, to the left you will see a toolbar with an up arrow, a down arrow, and an icon with 6 dots. You can click and drag the 6 dots icon to move the block. Simply drag it out of the other accordion item content, and drop it somewhere at the top level of your content.

    I don’t have a toolbar like that. Mine is above the selected item, and has the standard WordPress stuff:
    Change block type, move up or down, heading level or button, bold, italic, and a 3-dot icon for More options. What am I missing?

    Unfortunately since that post WordPress has changed the way you move blocks with drag and drop. Now you must click and hold on the move up (∧) and move down (∨) arrows themselves (beside the “Change block” icon in the toolbar) in order to initiate a drop and drop operation.

    I personally find this to be much more confusing than having a dedicated icon for drag operations—It took me several hours to discover how to do this when the change first happened.

    Yes, that works. Thanks so much!
