Move or Copy Files

With the necessary permissions, you can move and copy files and their markups from one project folder to another if the destination folder does not have a file of the same name existing.  If a user attempts to copy or move a file to a folder where the filename already exists the system will display the icon and prohibit the user from completing the action.

 Do not want to Move a file if it has multiple versions and leave old files versions behind – in this case, copy the most current version to the new destination.

Copy: If a user has Download permissions from the folder they are copying from and Upload permissions to the folder they are moving to, Copy is permitted.

Move: Moving files requires Delete permissions from the folder you are moving from and Upload permissions for the folder you are moving files into.
