I have read where you can right click on the development panels in the customize develop panel box to rearrange the development panel order. Well not on my version which is current. When I right click I get the Ø symbol and nothing changes. Any ideas whats going on.

All right hold on now if I do it real slow I can get them to move. Sometime they move some times they don't but I guess it can be done.

Thanks for the help

You get that circle with slash when you are over another section title. But if you go in between the section titles you can drop it.

I guess you are on a notebook and using the TrackPad, and or a desktop and trackpad of some type.

Slow the cursor movement down.

Yes, in the Develop Module, right click over any of the right side panels, select customize, drag as you see fit

I was able to point in the center of any seleted panel name and drag, did not have to click on or inbetween lines.

The 'Click-Drag' is easy. It is the 'Drop' that is more difficult highlighting the inbetween!

You have to drop it in between two items or on top of the item that you want to change. The cue is that you will notice a line between those two items. That where you drop it. It's confusing but it works.

Hi there,

As you're not able to customize the Develop panels, could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom you're working on?

You can drag the Develop panels on the right of the workspace in the order you would like to see them in your custom Develop panel menu. You can also choose to show or hide the panels as required.

To customize the Develop panel menu, do the following:

Right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) on the header of any panel.
Select Customize Develop Panel from the context menu that opens.
In the Customize Develop Panel dialog box that opens, drag the panel names in the desired order.
Click Save. To hide any panel, deselect the check box next to the panel name. To show a hidden panel, select the check box next to the panel name. To restore the default order, click Default Order.
Relaunch Lightroom Classic to see the Develop panels in the new order in the Confirm dialog that opens.

Regards,
Sahil

The only thing I can do in the customize develop panel window is uncheck the individual check boxes. Trying to right click and drag them does nothing in the develop window.
