How do I copy or move files?

You can organize library files by moving them or copying them to different folders.

Before you begin

For linked libraries, you can copy and move files only in an IBM® FileNet® Content Manager deployment. This function is not supported by IBM Content Manager.

About this task

When you copy or move a file to another folder, it inherits the access level of the new folder. The file is only available to people who have access to the new folder.

Procedure

Complete the following steps to copy or move files.
  1. Navigate to the file that you want to work with, and click More next to the file.
  2. Click More Actions and select one of the following options:
    • To save a copy of the file to a folder, select Copy to Folder, select a folder, and click Copy. Users with the appropriate level of access to the folder can download and work with the copied file without affecting the original version.
      Note: This action requires reader access to the source file and contributor access to the target location.
    • To move the file to a folder, select Move to Folder, select a folder, and click Move.
      Note: This action requires contributor access to the target location, and owner access to the source file and to remove the file from the source location.
