Cutting an Entry

Use Cut to remove an entry from the directory and keep a copy of it on the clipboard. The entry can be pasted from the clipboard into the directory in another location.

You must have write permission for the entry you want to cut. See "Logging In" for information.

  1. In the browser, click on the entry you want to cut.

  2. Click on the Cut icon, or select Cut from the Edit menu, or press Ctrl-x on the keyboard.

    The entry is cut from the directory to the clipboard.

  3. You can now paste the entry to a new directory position.

  4. If you want to restore the entry to the directory, select Restore from the Edit menu.

    The entry is restored to its original position in the directory if possible. If the parent entry no longer exists, or has been renamed, the paste is not possible and an error message is displayed.
