The SI Editor's Navigator is designed with the user in mind to simplify movement throughout the specifications structure, eliminating getting lost in the text, while providing editing capabilities for editing the Section. The Navigator's editing capabilities include the option to delete and undelete Subparts, undo and redo, promote paragraphs to a high level, drag and drop, move, or copy subparts before, into, or after other subparts. While working in the Editing Window, the Navigator will stay in sync with the cursor movement.

You have two options for moving or copying subparts, using the left-click or Right-click to drag and drop. Using the left-click to drag-and-drop the Subpart will move to the new location. Using the Right-click to drag-and-drop, you have more options and control for the placement as illustrated in the right Right-click sub-menu below. With the Right-click drag-and-drop, you can either move or copy subparts before, into, or after other subparts.
