- You can change the sequence of documents within a parent and/or change the link between any documents in the hierarchy by moving documents (with the exception of the root document) that are displayed in the Outline Editor. Moving a document in the Outline Editor does not change where it is stored in the Library; it only changes its sequence or link to a parent document.
- To move a document, you can either drag-and-drop it using the mouse, cut and paste the document, or use the Move Up/Move Down commands on the Edit menu. Cutting a document removes it from the hierarchy until you paste it in another location (although pasting a cut document is optional). Cutting is similar to deleting a link in that it removes the relationship between a document and its parent. The difference between cutting a document and deleting a link is that the Cut command makes the document available for pasting and the Delete Link command does not.
- When you move or cut an outline or section document that has related child documents, all child documents are moved as well. For example, if you move a section that has several topics, all topics are moved and linked to the new destination document.
- Note:
- Paste Special
- Also note that you cannot drag-and-drop documents from the Outline Editor to the Library.
- The Move Up/Move Down commands can only be used to move a document within its parent. These commands cannot be used to move documents to different parent documents. For example, if a section has multiple topics, you can use these commands to change the sequence of the topics within that section only. You cannot move a topic from one section to another. Use drag/drop or cut/paste to change parent document relationships.
- Multi-user Considerations
- You can move or cut a document regardless of its check in/out state. However, when you move or cut a document you may be prompted to check out the parent document.
