Any update on this?  It would be great to be able change the order in each step, but It's been over a year since it was indicated that this change was coming. 

Thanks

Hi Michael, thanks for checking in! We're still keeping track of these requests, so I appreciate you letting us know this feature is important to you. 

We've made some adjustments to our roadmap, and while I don't have an ETA for this particular feature quite yet, I'll be sure to keep you posted. 

Hello all. I was wondering if there was any update to this feature?

Hi Rigo! It sounds like you want to change the arrangement of text and media in a process interaction. While that's not available currently, I'll let our team know you'd like to see more customization options. Thanks for reaching out!

Any update on this? It appears a staff member said it was happening over 3 years ago! What adds to the frustration is that in edit mode, the text appears above media, but then when its published it swaps?!

Hi Lucy,

The layout of the process interaction is set by default, and there isn't a way to change that layout right now. We'll let you know if that changes in the future.

I'd really like this feature, as well. So, add me to the list if that's how it works! Thanks!

Is there a way to have the text appear on the right (rather than left) when using the text on image option?

Hi, Kate. No, text always justifies to the left with that type of block.

Is there any time line to include this feature to alter the placement of media and text placement in Tabs and accordion blocks. This is pending for last 2 years?

Hi SibaPrasad, thanks for checking in. We don't have plans for that feature right now, but you can keep track of what we're currently working on here!

4 years is a long time to go from 'we're going to be adding an option so you can flip the order of media and text' to 'We don't have plans for that feature right now'.

This seems such a basic feature to provide your customers with. Why is it not available?

I want to be able top flip the text and image as I want the image to be just 1 example of what the text is describing. Putting the image first suggests the text is describing the actual image.

I'm echoing the need to have more flexibility with content blocks. For the process interaction, I'd like to be able to switch the image/ media and text (and also to have multiple blocks of each within, so text, image, text, image). Similarly for the accordian/ tabs, we need the ability to switch image/ text as well. 

Add me to the request for more flexibility - I really want the image below the text in Process blocks. Otherwise the image completely takes away from the text and I'm better without the image at all, which is a shame.

Yeah, that is an interesting development...

Adding my +1 for this feature to be added. Seems like it would be a relatively simple update.

Same,  this is a fundamental need for basic layout design, we should be able to control this to some degree or have a reasonable workaround.

+1 for this feature! Having the image at the top is counterintuitive/distracting for the learner. 

Adding another +1 for flexibility in text and media order. I'd love to use timeline if it had the option to place an image above, below, left or right of text. Instead I have to use individual blocks for a LOT of content.

So any news on this? My comment 11 months ago now needs updating:

5 years is a long time to go from 'we're going to be adding an option so you can flip the order of media and text' to 'We don't have plans for that feature right now'.

Adding on to this - I would really like the ability to control the placement of media within blocks. Could you please put that back on the roadmap?

Hi Chris,

If you are referring to to the Image & Text block, it is possible to flip the position of the image to be either on the left or right side.
