Move/Reorder a Term

Once created, you can choose to adjust the term hierarchy, enabling you to make changes such as repositioning them within the taxonomy.

To move or reorder terms within a taxonomy, log in to your Contentstack account, and perform the following steps:

1. Go to your stack where you want to edit the terms, navigate to the “Settings” icon (press “S”) on the left navigation panel, and select Taxonomy.
2. Select the taxonomy for which you want to move or reorder the terms.
3. To rearrange the terms, simply hover over the term, then click and drag it to your desired position. Once you've placed it, confirm the move by clicking the Move button in the popup window that appears.
   • To relocate a term as a parent term, use drag and drop when you see a guiding line.
     
   • To place the term as a child term, simply drag and drop it when a box appears.
     

You can also edit terms via the Move/Reorder a Term API request.
