 SettingsCard can also be turned into a button, by setting the `IsClickEnabled` property. This can be useful whenever you want your settings component to navigate to a detail page or open an external link. You can set a custom icon by setting the `ActionIcon`, or hiding it completely by setting the `IsActionIconVisible` to `false`.

 NOTE: Due to [a bug](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/3842) related to the `ItemsRepeater` used in `SettingsExpander`, there might be visual glitches whenever the `SettingsExpander` expands and a `MaxWidth` is set on a parent `StackPanel`. As a workaround, the `StackPanel` (that has the `MaxWidth` set) can be wrapped in a `Grid` to overcome this issue. See the `SettingsPageExample` for snippet.
 
+### Dragging Settings Cards
+
+You may use a list of `SettingsCard` or `SettingsExpander` to represent configurable items within a tool. The order of these may be something you want to track.
+
+In this case there is a conflict between the interactions with the settings card and the drag and drop interactions of a parent containing `ListView`, for instance.
+
+Therefore, it is recommended to use the drag-handle type UI approach for this scenario in having a dedicated space for re-ordering manipulation vs. interaction with the Settings control.
+
+You can see how to do this with `SettingsExpander` in the example below, however it equally works with a collection of `SettingsCard` as the main data template component as well.
+
+> [!SAMPLE SettingsExpanderDragHandleSample]
+
+The main important pieces of this example are:
+
+1. Enabling the three drag properties on the `ListView`: `CanDragItems`, `CanReorderItems`, and `AllowDrop`.
+2. Setting `SelectionMode` to `None` to prevent selection and the selection indicator from appearing.
+3. Using a simple UIElement to act as a drag handle, the pass-through of the mouse on this element to `ListView` allows the normal drag experience to work uninterrupted.
+4. Modifying the `Margin` and `Padding` values of the `ItemContainerStyle` to align cards how we want within the ListView.
+5. Overriding the `ListViewItemBackgroundPointerOver` resource to prevent the hover effect across the entire list item, the Settings Controls already have an effect here on hover.
