Copy and Move Content

Copying a file or a folder creates an exact replica of it. You can copy the file or folder to the same location, but the item's name is changed to add "Copy of" to the beginning. If you copy the item to a new location, the name of the item or folder remains the same. If the name of the copied file or folder matches the name of a file or folder in the destination location, the Content Collection will prompt you to confirm an overwrite.

You can select multiple files and folders to copy, making it easy to share content between folders.

Moving folders and files changes the item's location. You can select multiple items and folders to move to easily transport large batches of content to new locations.

Permissions

To copy an item, you need read and write permission for the file and its destination folder. To move an item, you need read, write, and remove permissions for the file and the folders you're moving the content between.
