It moves whatever you lasso/wrap it around. First, rope off the markup that you want moved. You do this by clicking on the lasso, then draw the lasso/dotted line around the markup in a somewhat circular motion (meaning that you want to try stopping the lasso in the same general spot that you started in). Next, you hold your finger/stylus inside the lasso and slide the markup to the destination you choose. When you have it where you want it, lift your finger, and voila!
