Move Folder

Purpose

Move a folder from one location to another.

Prerequisites

  • You are signed in to EisenVault One.
  • You have permission to move the source folder.
  • You have permission to create or add folders in the destination.

Before You Begin

Moving a folder also moves the content inside it. This may affect documents, subfolders, bookmarks, inherited permissions, and users who access the folder through its original location.

Confirm the destination before moving the folder. If the folder should remain in both locations, use Copy Folder instead.

Move a Folder

  1. Open Files & Folders.
  2. Navigate to the department or parent folder that contains the folder.
  3. Open the folder's options menu.
  4. Click Move.
  5. Select the destination department or folder.
  6. Confirm that the destination is correct.
  7. Click Move or the equivalent confirmation button.

Expected Result

  • The folder is removed from its original location.

  • Files and subfolders inside it move with the folder.
  • Access follows the destination's inherited permissions and any local permissions on the moved folder.
