Scenario We are using Sitecore SXA (Version is not important here as it will same for all), and one of our content author logged a bug that, they neither able to see "Add here" button on specific place holder nor they are able to move the component on the page in different location, Move option was disabled, and they wanted to have a freedom of moving component here and there and also "Add here" is a vital functionality to add component to specific place holders.   Troubleshooting With my surprise as i have never seen this behavior before,  1) I first check their access rights but they had all of needed permissions and they were able to do things normally before. 1) I started looking into place holder restriction and different settings of allowed renderings to see if there are no such ...
