# Change Section - SpecPlanner

> Learn how to change products from one masterformat section to another in SpecPlanner.

*Written by Patricia Causey · Updated March 20, 2026*

SpecPlanner allows users to change product MasterFormat Sections, accommodating unique classification needs and firm-specific preferences. This feature is particularly useful for products that may fit into multiple categories or when your organization has specific classification standards.

## How to Change a Product's MasterFormat Section

There are two ways of changing a product's masterformat section:

1. Use the Change Masterformat Section function
2. Drag and drop products to a different section

### Using the Change Masterformat Section function

* Locate the Product you wish to reclassify in your SpecPlanner
* Click the **three dots (⋮)** at the end of the product row

* Select **Change Masterformat Section** from the dropdown
* Choose a New Section from pre-defined Masterformat Sections

</div>

<Note>
  **Note:** You can move a product to a Masterformat section that isn’t currently visible in your SpecPlanner. Once moved, that section will automatically become visible.
</Note>

### Drag and drop products to a different section

This method is quite simple: click on the six dots to the left of the product picture to **drag and drop** it in a different sub-section, or entirely different masterformat section

* You can also drag products to **reorder** them within the same section or sub-section.

</div>

<Note>
  **Note:** In both methods, the masterformat section field will automatically **change in Schedules** to match the section in SpecPlanner.
