Documents / Copying and Moving Documents

You may copy and paste a document to create a new instance of it in the same or other folder. Similarly, you may move a document by cutting it from one folder and pasting it into another folder.

To copy a document, perform the following:

  1. Click the check box next to the document to select it.
  2. Click on the "Copy" menu item in the "Edit" menu.
  3. Navigate to the target folder where you wish to paste the copy of the document.
  4. At the target folder, click on the "Paste" menu item in the "Edit" menu.

Note:

When a document is copied, an automatic "Copy of" and "Original Copy" association is established between the original document and the copy.

To move a document, perform the following:

  1. Click the check box next to the document to select it.
  2. Click on the "Cut" menu item in the "Edit" menu.
  3. Navigate to the target folder where you wish to paste the document.
  4. At the target folder, click on the "Paste" menu item in the "Edit" menu.

Security considerations:

To be able to cut and paste a document, you must have "Full Control" rights on the document and you must also have sufficient rights in the target folder to create a document. This is because you are essentially deleting a document from the original folder and creating a new document in the target foder.

Copying a document requiers that you have at least "Read" rights to the document. You cannot copy documents for which you do not have "Read" privileges.
