Move Folders in the Document Library

With the move feature, you can quickly reorganise your document library by relocating folders or files to new locations—while maintaining control over access permissions.

How Moving Works

1. Locate the folder or file you want to move in the Document Library.
2. Click the drop-down menu next to it and select Move.
3. A banner will appear at the top of the page showing that the move is in progress.
4. Navigate to your target folder.
5. In the banner, click Move Here to complete the move.
6. If you change your mind, click Cancel in the banner to abort the move.

📌 Note: While a move is in progress, certain actions are restricted. For example, you cannot start a second move until the first one is complete.

Permissions When Moving

• When you move a folder or file, it inherits the permissions of the target folder.
• If your plan allows it, you can adjust these permissions after the move.
• Moving a folder or file requires Global Admin permissions.

Example: Moving a Folder

1. You have a folder named “2023 Reports” in the Finance folder.
2. You choose Move and navigate to the Archives folder.
3. When you click Move Here, the “2023 Reports” folder will now have the same permissions as Archives.
4. You can then adjust those permissions if your plan includes this feature.
