# Moving a File

This topic describes how to move a file in the workspace.
You can use one of the following methods:

- Moving a file by cutting-and-pasting
- Moving a file by using [Move File(s)]

## Moving a file by cutting-and-pasting

You can move a file or a folder to a different position within the workspace, or to a different folder in the folder area.
The following describes how to move a file or a folder by cutting and pasting it. You can also drag and drop it into the desired position.
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.

## Moving a file by using [Move File(s)]

Select a file in the workspace, and click [Move File(s)] in the toolbar or the task toolbar.
When you select multiple files, they are moved in the selected order.
You can specify the following destinations.

- DocuWorks Desk (user folder, link folder, and task space)
- DocuWorks Tray
- OneDrive for Business
- Folder on this PC or network

Note

- Folders cannot be moved.
- If you select a hidden file, the processing will be aborted.
