Use Case: Move / copy content between folders
Actor: Content Creator
Assumptions: Content creator has logged into the CMF (see: Use Case: Login to the Site)
- Navigate to the folder containing the piece of content which
you would like to move (or copy) to another folder.
To retrieve a list of the content you have authored, see Use Case: View personally authored content
- In the "Folder contents" view of the folder, check the box next to the content object(s) which you would like to move or copy.
- Click the "Cut" button (or the "Copy" button, if you wish to create a copy in the new location rather than moving the content).
- The system will set a cookie on your browser (you must have cookies enabled) representing the items you cut or copied.
- Navigate to the folder into which you wish to move or copy the content (which might be the same folder).
- Click the "Paste" button. The system will move or copy the content
into the folder; new content whose IDs would conflict with exising
content in that folder will receive an auto-generated name, typically
copy_of_
plus the original ID. - To undo this action, see: Use Case: Undo changes to content
