In ArcGIS Experience Builder (ArcGIS Online), the Page panel’s outline shows the widget hierarchy under Header, Body, and Footer. However, once a widget is placed in the Header (or Footer), it is not possible to simply move that same widget into the Body (or vice‑versa) using drag-and-drop in the Outline or on the canvas. The builder behaves like there is a hard boundary between these page regions.

Right now, the practical workaround is to copy/paste (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V) the widget into the desired region and then delete the original. While copy/paste preserves most configuration, it is still extra steps and can create confusion with duplicates, widget renaming, and layout re-checking.
Please add the ability to **move** a widget between **Header ↔ Body ↔ Footer** using one of the following:
1) Drag-and-drop move across Header/Body/Footer directly in the Page Outline, OR
2) A “Move to…” option (for example: Move to Header, Move to Body, Move to Footer), available from the widget’s More (…) menu.
 
During app design, it’s common to prototype quickly and later realize a widget (for example, an Image widget, Button, or Widget Controller) belongs in a different region. In multi-page apps, the Header is often used for shared branding/navigation while the Body varies per page, so being able to re-home a fully configured widget would save time and reduce rework.
