Does anyone have a recommended video intro series to drag and drop Thunkable in 2021? Recently I was trying to take a “create object” block and get to “create object with fields” block. I spent at least an hour looking in documentation, forum, and youtube videos. Finally I just got it by dumb luck - I didn’t realize I needed to click the wheel, type anything in the left component and drag it over and clip it onto the other floating block on the right. I’m happy to do a good 4-5 hour intro to learn random things like this that are hard (for me) to find in documentation. I’m also really struggling with finding videos or documentation on things like groups - vs tons of info on the older rows, columns, and alignment. Is there a place for documenting and resources on the new drag and drop builder? When I hover the ? and click learn more it just opens another tab of my app workspace. Should I just not use drag and drop yet as a new user? Thanks for the help, love the platform and community. Drew ---

Drew, I decided a couple months ago (when there were NO D&D docs) that I’d wait for the D&D editor to be a little further along. I’m finding now that I’ve spent some time with the ‘legacy’ interface, they feel pretty interchangeable. I can sit down and work in either one. However, there’s _currently_ no way to switch an app to the new editor (although it’s been said that one is coming), so you might want to do some playing/learning on the old interface and then switch before starting a big project. I totally get that small differences in appearance can be confusing for a newbie! It gets better fast! Oh, in case you didn’t find them, here are the drag and drop docs: [https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/](https://docs.thunkable.com/v/drag-and-drop/) ---

Thanks so much Cat, this is super helpful all around - I was just searching over and over in the old documentation like a moron… I knew I was missing something. ---

If any other newbs like me need help doing a “create objects with fields block” here is an image with guide - maybe if someone from Thunkable reads this they can add to the docs for object! ![ClickRedo](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/c/d/cd5a0c3e52d47babb2a5d0f2ad05dc0a205d35f7.png) ---
