   You may select a module position from the modal display of pre-defined positions where you can filter by type and template, or enter your own module position by typing the name in the field and Save.

   Click the drop down list next to the position setting, choose a new location to place this module, and then click the save button in the top left of the page. Remember, if you don’t know where each of these positions is located within your template, follow these instructions to find out.

   In our testing, we are moving the Search module. Its current position is Search [position-0], and we changed it to Top center [position-3]. You can see in the screenshots below a before and after.
