# Moving a File

This topic describes how to move a file or a folder to a different position within the workspace, or to a different folder in the folder area.
The cutting-and-pasting method is described in this topic. You can also move a file or a folder to the desired position with dragging-and-dropping.
Note
Splitting the workspace area to display the destination folder facilitates your work.
Procedure
1.
Select the file you want to move, then select [Cut] from the [Edit] menu.
The file is removed from the workspace.
Note
When cutting several files in a row, the first cut file is not deleted, but put into the recycle bin. The file enters the recycle bin even if [Use Recycle Bin] is not selected under [DocuWorks Desk Options].
2.
Display the destination folder, then select [Paste] from the [Edit] menu.
The file is moved to the last position in the workspace.
If there is a file with the same name in the destination folder, a delimiter and a number are appended to the name of the moved file.
