# Unable to move a content or widget across stages

### Issue

When you try to move content or widgets across stages, the action fails and you see the following error message: ![something_went_wrong_error](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/something_went_wrong_error.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T16%3A27%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T17%3A27%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Js1xArE3xDS4egsq1kN4IWi9%2BdBFfhJhBs6%2FHkwUFfM%3D)

### Probable Causes

- The content that you are trying to move is part of an existing widget.
- Unstable network or internet connectivity issues prevent movement of content or widgets across stages.

### Suggested Solutions

- Consider a Flow (content) attached to a Pop-up (widget) in the Production Stage. When attempting to move the Flow back to the Draft Stage, a message appears indicating that the Flow is associated with a Pop-up in the Production Stage. Clicking **Send to draft** moves the Pop-up to the Draft Stage along with the Flow. ![Dashboard_movetodraft_dependent](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/Dashboard_movetodraft_dependent.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T16%3A27%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T17%3A27%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Js1xArE3xDS4egsq1kN4IWi9%2BdBFfhJhBs6%2FHkwUFfM%3D)
- Similarly, if a Task List (widget) contains content attached to it in the Production Stage, a message appears indicating that some content is associated with the Task List. Clicking **Send to production** moves all content along with the Task List to the Production Stage. ![CLM_sent_to_prod_dependancy](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/CLM_sent_to_prod_dependancy.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-10T16%3A27%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T17%3A27%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Js1xArE3xDS4egsq1kN4IWi9%2BdBFfhJhBs6%2FHkwUFfM%3D)
- Check your internet connection and try again.
