Comment (by sarahricker):

 **Re #1:** ''"Accidentally clicking the "up" arrow on the topmost sidebar
 meta box will cause it to move below the main post editing panel, which
 makes it easy to miss as it will commonly move well below the fold. I've
 just been dealing with reports from two separate users who did this and
 were unable to find the meta box."''

 I'm not able to replicate that, can you confirm if that is still an issue,
 @johnbillion?


 @hedgefield - Noting that there is some overlap with
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/51419. These two tickets need some
 input from design before we can move forward.

 **Main items remaining to be resolved:**
 1 - Should Gutenberg sidebar metaboxes be re-orderable?
 2 - What icon should be used to open vs re-order (would be best if the
 were the same in both spots)
 3 - Should drag n'drop of metaboxes below content be limited to to that
 area? (I was not able to move them to the sidebar myself, but their there
 was some UI issues that made if feel like I could).
