Copying or Moving Documents

Follow the steps below to copy documents:

  1. Select the document(s) to be copied or moved in the grid.
  2. To move the document(s) to another folder, drag the document from the grid and drop it to the destination folder in the Index Pane.
  3. To copy the document/s to another folder, hold the Ctrl or Shift key, and drag and drop the document to the destination folder in the Index Pane.

While copying or moving a document you will be asked to re-code the document profile and will open the Edit Document Profile window to enter the details. Follow the instructions to complete the form. You may choose to replace the attachment at this time if required. If you replace the attachment you can view the version history in the document’s metadata panel.

Note: Viewing of version history on replacing attachments is available only in Alfresco rooms. For more details follow on to section Replace Documents.

If the Hide Index on add new document option is on, editors will not be able to copy or move a document and will receive the warning as below.
