  • Move content to a new folder: Drag and drop an item onto a different folder to move the item to that folder.

How to: Move a content to a new folder

Note

You must be a writer or an administrator in a space to move content from one folder to another.

If the new folder is listed in the folder you are currently viewing, drag the content you want to move by clicking within its row. When you move it over a folder, the line for the folder will be highlighted. Drop the content you are moving on the folder.

If the folder you are currently viewing is in the folder you want to move the content to, drag the content you want to move to the folder path. The path to the current folder is always displayed at the top of the view, above the image39.png Create and image42.png Upload buttons and the search box. Drop the content on the name of the folder in the path where you want to place the content.

Moving content to a new folder.

The path to the current folder is displayed at the top of the view.

The content will disappear from the list in the current folder. Click on the name of the folder you dropped it on to open that folder. You will see the content you moved in this new folder.

To transfer content from one space to another, use the Move function. (You must be a writer or an administrator in the space where you want to put the content.)
