Move features

ArcGIS Online    |

The Move tool is used to interactively move a selected feature.

Note:

Moving a feature cannot be undone. If a feature is moved to an incorrect location, it must be moved back manually. To cancel moving a feature before the move is completed, press Esc on your keyboard before releasing the mouse button.

To move a feature, complete the following steps:

  1. Follow the steps to select one or more features.
    Note:

    Bulk feature editing is not available when more than 200 features are selected.

  2. To enable the Move tool, do one of the following:
    • On the editing toolbar, click Move .
    • Use the Alt+Shift+G shortcut for Windows or the Option+Shift+G shortcut for Mac on your keyboard.
  3. Click and drag the selected feature to a new location on the map.

The selected feature is moved to the new location.
