Maybe it would be more visually apparant when we can place a box (e.g. rectangle) around a group of blocks or part of a flow.
Also nice if the blocks within the box were linked to it as with a parent-child-relation.
Then, if you would drag the box, you would move the entire group with it.

Re: Bounding Boxes
+1 for this. We can select multiple elements and add them to a group. Then a box appear to represent that group. To edit the element, we have to long tap that group to open the group editing mode. Then we can tap the element we wanna edit, or move the element inside the group. Kinda like office word object grouping.
This will help when we have several blocks of logic that will never change anymore, but only to be rearranged from the top branch.

Re: Bounding Boxes
Nice building on the idea.
There should be an option to lock the elements inside or not.
Also an optional topleft label on the box would be handy.
