Moving a drawing sheet

I have a bunch of part drawings created as individual drawings.
Is there any way to move these into a multi-sheet drawing?

Drawings as s Single Sheet or Multiple sheets might seem trivial but is a big question I have asked myself and on different Onshape projects, at the moment you can't change your mind 1/2 way down the track so is important to get it right up front. I have chosen both ways on depending on the project. It is, however, an issue at the moment that singles can't be merged to a multiple page drawing or vice-versa down the track you want to change the setup. @MichaelThiesmeyer I'll vote for that IR.
Why is this an issue?
For me, a multiple page drawing becomes more compact in the Onshape doc (minor thing but 100 tabs are hard to handle) and is easy to print/export, I really like structuring my drawings this way, I can have 100 pages in the drawing, RMB on the tab to export and I have them all in 1 PDF in a few seconds. However, I normally do single sheet drawings based on the part number because if you want to add links to specific drawings from elsewhere that seems to make more sense.
@PeteYodisI am really looking forward to more ways to copy, move and edit my drawings, the more time I can save the better. I also too, regularly want to move an already detailed view to a new sheet.

We do not yet have this capability in drawings and I do not see an improvement request for it. If you would like to see it please create an improvement request to the right ->
Thank you,
Mike

Furthermore we do have improvements in store for duplicating a drawing, duplicating a drawing and it's references, and also improvements surrounding replace reference in a drawing.
I am confronted to this exact issue where I created a bunch of individual drawings but I now need to merge them into one drawing with multiple sheets. Is there any new tip or way to achieve that without re-making all the drawings? If not, please add me to the feature request as well !
Thanks a lot.
So I would be another add to the improvement request count..
@pete_yodis Have they considered this improvement request or begun a fix? Much appreciated!
