Explain the problem as you see it
It is difficult to indent a node, under another collapsed node, without expanding the collapsed node..
(especially when the destination node has, may-nodes nested under it, and expanding it takes up full screen, just inconvenient)
Why is this a problem for you?
been, restructuring my workflowy imports, which needs, multiple nodes to be moved, under multiple different nodes.. I use panels, which makes it a-lot easier, but the drag and drop feature being limited, makes it inconvenient,, for now, I've been setting move-to targets, which is time consuming
attached screen-record shows- problem facing and the solution..
Suggest a solution
workflowy type - drag-drop nodes

This is something I miss from Roam Research. I could drag a node beneath another one, and if I held it there for an extra half-second, the node would expand and I could drop it as a child node. I'm hoping this will eventually come to Tana.
Thanks, nice idea, one for future. Tab to indent currently works when parent is collapsed, but we can be more mouse friendly here.
I realize that Tana is trying to move us away from hierarchy. But many of us are moving over from hierarchical tools like Workflowy etc. This seems like a relatively straightfoward (maybe) tweak to the UI, but it would really REALLY help speed up a minor annoyance but a persistent one. E.g. it doesn't seem like much friction. But now imagine you are moving and indenting etc 1000's of node - the small grit in the shoe quickly becomes painful.
