Can I move an app while it's open?

Short answer: No — quit the app first. A running app shows as blocked with "Currently running"; quit it, refresh, and the Move button appears.

No. An app that's running can't be moved safely, so Storage Studio shows it as blocked with "Currently running" until you quit it. Quit the app, refresh the list, and the Move button becomes available.

If something else is holding the app open, Storage Studio shows what it is and can offer to quit it for you. The Hide running switch keeps open apps out of the list.
