Copy Folders and Assets into Other Folders

You can copy existing folders and assets into any other folder whose contents can be modified. If a folder's contents cannot be modified, the folder is shown with a locked icon (). Folders from the stock Catalogs are locked.

Watch: Create a Linked Folder

Although you cannot modify the folders in the stock Catalog, you can copy their contents into custom folders, which you can then modify by removing and reorganizing the copies.

You can copy a stock, linked, or custom folder to any of the following destinations:

• A normal, custom folder.
• A linked folder.

  Note: Series folders and Featured Topic folders cannot contain subfolders.

If you copy:

• A stock folder, then the copy becomes a linked folder.
• A custom folder, then the copy also becomes a custom folder. The new copy does not have a dynamic relationship with the custom folder that you copied. If the source folder contains any linked folders, the new copy also contains linked folders that are also linked to the original stock folders.
• A linked folder, then the copy becomes a linked folder that is also linked to the original stock folder. The new copy does not have a dynamic relationship with the linked folder that you copied.

  Note: If the contents of the stock folder are changed in any way (additions, changes, and deletions to the assets and child folders therein), the copies in the linked folder are automatically updated in the same manner.

To copy folders and assets into a folder

1. Click Content > Library on the navigation bar.

   The Library page displays.

2. In the Browse Catalog pane, browse to or search for the folder into which you want to copy one or more folders or assets.
3. Move your mouse over the folder title, and click the Edit Contents link.

   The selected folder is displayed in the Edit Contents pane.

4. In the Browse Catalog pane, browse to or search for the folders or assets that you want to copy, and then select them.

   Note: To select multiple folders or assets, use Shift-click or Ctrl-click. Also note that you can select a combination of folders and assets, not just one or the other.

5. Drag and drop the selected folders and assets in the Browse Catalog pane to the desired folder in the Edit Contents pane. If you move your mouse over a collapsed subfolder, it automatically expands to allow you to drop the assets inside.

   Alternatively, you can select folders and assets in the Browse Catalog pane, select a destination folder in the Edit Contents pane, and then click .

6. Click Exit.

   Note: The Library is not updated with your changes until you exit the Library page.
