Moving and copying nodes
Three options are available to move or copy nodes to other nodes:
- Move the node to another node.
- Copy the node structure only to another node.
- Copy the node and all its associated content to another node.
Nodes can be moved or copied by dragging and dropping or by selection.
Drag and drop method
On the Content page:
- In the left panel Nodes tab, locate the node you wish to move.
- Using the handles, drag the node to the required node. If that node already has child nodes, you will need to expand it first.
- On the Copy / Move page, select the required options and click the SUBMIT button. A confirmation message will be displayed in the banner.
