To move a skill you need to change the 'parent' by following these steps:
Go to Quick-access menu > Skills.
Select the framework containing the skill.
Click the cog icon (
) alongside the skill you wish to move.Use the Parent dropdown menu to select the new position (e.g. under another skill or Top to make the skill a parent).
Scroll to the bottom and click Save changes.
