You can change a node's parents to move nodes within the job diagram or to change a data source for a node.

**To change the parent node**

1. Choose the node in the job diagram that you want to modify.

1. In the node details panel, on the **Node properties** tab, under the heading **Node parents** remove the current parent for the node.

1. Choose a new parent node from the list.

1. Modify the other properties of the node as needed to match the newly selected parent node.

If you modified a node by mistake, you can use the **Undo** button on the toolbar to reverse the action.
