Moving an item

You can perform Cut & Paste actions to restructure your content. You move items in the list view to a different Folder or Structure Group within the same Publication, or for Keywords to a different location in the same Category.

Before you begin

You require the rights that allow you to modify that object as well as the following permissions:

  • Delete permission for the containing Folder, Structure Group, or Category
  • Write permission for the Folder, Structure Group to which you want to paste the item

You will not be able to cut and paste an item if:

  • The item is a local copy or a shared item.
  • The item is checked-out, in Workflow, or published.

It is not possible to move items between different Publications, or between Folders, Structure Group and Categories, or between one Category and another Category.

About this task

To move items, you cut and paste selected items. If you move a Folder, Structure Group, or Keyword you also move all items that are contained within it.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the Publication and Folder or Structure Group that contains the item you want to move.
  2. From the list view, select one or more items.
  3. Click Cut on the Home tab of the ribbon.
  4. From the navigation pane, select the Folder, Structure Group to which you want to move the item(s).
  5. Click Paste on the Home tab of the ribbon.

Results

The Content Manager moves the item to a different location in the Publication.
