Hi Blake 

Thanks for reaching out! When using our mind map shapes all children shape will move when you move a parent shape. I apologize for any trouble this is causing you! If you would like to move a parent shape independent from its children I recommend using a different shape library such as our basic shapes. I hope this helps!

You can lock all nodes that you don't want to move and then move the parent node.
