To access this option, select RESPONSIVE EDITING from the File menu (or use the keyboard shortcut: R):

From the Responsive Editing window, you may use the icons at the top to select a mobile layout:

When previewing your layout, use the tool options in the top left corner of any container to move, edit, adjust settings, duplicate or delete any tool, row, or column:

You can drag and drop any of the containers to rearrange your lesson layout easily. As you drag, a blue guide will appear, marking spots where you can drop items:
