Cut settings?

Hello so I have been using your products for a while and recently got a new computer. I downloaded the movie studio platinum again but this version is a lot more updated than what I was used to using. Which is fine I learned most of it just fine however there is one part that is really kind of bugging me. I have tried to watch tutorials and I can not figure it out or even tell if it still works like this. 
In the Movie studio version I used to be using in the top left-hand corner there was simple mode and advanced mode. When in simple mode if you would make a cut it would automatically cut the video and push it up against the video or part that was in front of it. However, when you would switch to the advanced mode which just consisted of clicking the button in the top left it would make it to where when you cut something it does not push it up against the video in front. Instead, it would leave a gap and you would have to manually drag the video to make them touch again. However, in this new version, I have not been able to figure how to get it aginst without having to move it. 

This can get really annoying because I am making so many cuts and have to continuously keep moving it video file back in line. It makes the process way slower and I can't figure out how to get it back to the old style of cutting. I have searched through the settings and can't find it and I honestly just kind of wish I could go back to the old version that had it way easier to work on videos. Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong or you guys took this feature away. I would also like to know if there is any way to get the old version back because I honestly feel like the experience was smoother. Having to keep dragging it has made my editing drag pun intended. Thank you for taking the time to respond and hopefully, we can get this figured out.
