Duplicating Documents/Folders

You can duplicate an existing document/folder.

NOTE

You cannot select the recycle bin as the duplication destination. If you select the recycle bin as the duplication destination for a folder, the folder is not copied but is only moved.

During the process of generating the preview of a document selected in the File List View Window, you cannot duplicate the folder.

If the [Select operation when moving/copying documents/folders of the same name] check box is selected, the [Confirm Document Replace] dialog box is displayed if a document/folder with the same name exists in the destination to copy the document/folder to. To overwrite the document/folder, click [Yes] or [Apply to All] without selecting the [Keep both the current document and the new document] check box.

However, if another document with the same name already exists at the destination and it is overwritten, [Date Created] will retain the date set for the overwritten document. In addition, depending on the libraries at the destination and source, the date of the document becomes the time when it was duplicated.
[Name], [Type], [Extensions], [Size]	These properties will be copied.

Libraries of the same type (except for Document Server Libraries) Document Server Libraries in the same site In other cases, only items whose name and type match are copied if the [Copy the values of entries with matching property settings] check box is selected. If the destination library can handle memos, the memos are also copied. When this is deselected, nothing is copied, including memos.
