Cutting, Copying and Pasting Items

Cut, copy, and paste operations are slightly different than your standard windows software. All operations can be accessed on the Contents page, arranged as buttons along the bottom, or through the actions menu.

Moving items from one area to another on a website is a common task.  Often this need arises with placement of content in the wrong folder.  Start off by visiting the Contents tab, located above the green bar in your editing area.

Note that the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail folder has been checked, and that the cut button is about to be clicked.  After clicking the cut button, the screen will show a new paste button. The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail folder and all of its contents are now in the web site's "memory."  The Eastern Tiger Swallowtail folder does not immediately disappear, however, awaiting the actual paste operation:

 

The paste button is now active. The next step is to navigate to the destination folder, in this case the Swallowtails folder:

 

After clicking the Swallowtails folder, the paste button will continue to show, because the paste operation has not yet been completed:

 

 And last, clicking the paste button for the destination folder adds the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail folder to its proper place in the Swallowtails folder, and cuts it from the original location, the Skippers folder, and the cut/paste operation is complete.

 

Copy/Paste

A copy/paste operation is identical to the cut/paste operation, except that there is no removal of content from the original folder.
