Move Documents using Drag-and-Drop
If one of your document subsets contains documents that are no longer needed, but can be used by another document subset, you can move those documents using drag-and-drop. If the target document subset is located within another document set, you can pin the other document set open in order to drop the documents in the correct document subset.
You can move documents using drag-and-drop by following these steps:
- Open the Documents window if it is not already open.

Optionally, turn

If there are any unsaved changes to your document sets, you are prompted to save or discard these changes before you are able to move or copy any documents. This ensures that you do not inadvertently overwrite any modifications that you want to keep.
The document is moved from its original document subset to its new location.
