## Importing a folder into the workspace without conversion

You can import a folder from Windows Explorer or the desktop to the Desk workspace without converting files stored in that folder to DocuWorks documents. Make sure that subfolders are displayed in the workspace before you perform the following procedure.
Procedure
1.
Select a folder in Windows Explorer or the desktop and then while pressing the <Ctrl> key. Drag-and-drop it onto the Desk workspace.
The folder and all the files in it are copied to the workspace without being converted to DocuWorks documents.
Note
If subfolders are set to be hidden in the workspace, the files stored in the folder are converted to DocuWorks documents even if you drag-and-drop the folder to the workspace while pressing the <Ctrl> key.
