When working in outline view, one has to drag and drop documents in order to place them. If a document has accidentally been dropped inside another, it is tricky, through drag & drop, to simply move that document outside of its parent (outdent it a level). When I do it through drag & drop (or through the “move” menu) the document inevitably gets moved out of position. In outline view, a promote and demote option, one that simply indented our outdented the document (toggling between making it independent or a child of the document above) would be helpful.
I would have thought the menu item Documents > Move would be the answer. The individual menu items Right, Left, etc. have the hot keys listed next to them, so you can learn those for faster work. After all, Left and Right correspond to Outdent, Indent … I just use the hot keys, myself.

Or you can customize the toolbar with big red left, right, up, and down arrows.
Thank you. I swear I looked under the “Move” menu. And I didn’t see it. Now I do. I am starting to believe that, on my laptop, many Scrivener features exist in a quantum state. They only appear after someone points them out to me.
Now, if anyone knows how to access the “Make me a Margarita” function via a menu option or hot key, I’m eager to discover it.
