Hi community

After installing a new AS version, I always change some very useful settings (in Tools → Options), lik _Show line numbers_, _Tab indent_, etc. In my opinion, one of the most useful settings is **Prompt before moving options with drag-and-drop** :

 ![AS12](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/brcommunity/original/2X/2/245f7fc49de07ad9af3597236c943fafc6df4749.png)

I was shocked to see that this option is no longer available in AS6 😲 I also couldn’t find it in any other tab. Does anyone know where this setting has gone?

Hi,

unfortunately it’s not available until now in AS6.x, and I don’t have any more information about it except of this thread:

> Hi there, my favourite option from previous Versions is missing smiling_face_with_tear. Can someone help me find it? In previous AS-Versions it used to be located here: [image] With AS6 it looks like it moved (at least I hope it did…) [image] I cannot offer any reward, other than my gratitude rofl It was a very helpful option. Because, sometimes… in “the heat of the moment” it could happen that Automation Studio thought I wanted to move a file, maybe because AS was loading other stuf…

I would recommend to inform your local support office, so that they can try to get more information about.

Best regards.
