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.
Copy:
Source Folder – Source File has no Versions – Copy only that File (if markups exist for this file, copy them as well)
Destination Folder – Destination File has Multiple Version – The Copied File becomes the Latest / Newest Version
Source Folder – Source File has Multiple Versions – Copy only the newest / most current Version of the File (if markups exist for this file, copy them as well)
Destination Folder – Destination File has Multiple Version – The Copied File becomes the Latest / Newest Version
Move:
Source Folder – Source File has no Versions – Move only that File (if markups exist for this file, move them as well)
Destination Folder – Destination File has Multiple Version – The Moved File becomes the Latest / Newest Version
Source Folder – Source File has Multiple Versions – Copy only the newest / most current Version of the File (if markups exist for this file, copy them as well)
Destination Folder – Destination File has Multiple Version – The Copied File becomes the Latest / Newest Version
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.
