After creating packages and adding items to them, you might find that you want to move items from one package to another. For example, you might want to keep all of the files used in one section in a single package rather than creating a separate package for each file.
Items in a package can be moved or copied to another package using cut/copy and paste. You can also drag-and-drop items between packages by splitting the work area and viewing different packages in the two panes of the layout. When you drag-and-drop an item between packages, a new copy of the item is created in the destination package. To move an item between packages using drag-and-drop, hold the SHIFT key while dragging.
Note: If the source and destination are different folders within the same package tab, drag-and-drop moves the item rather than copying it.
When moving and/or copying items in a package, file and folder names at the same level within a package must be unique. Therefore, if you attempt to copy or move a file with a duplicate name to the same folder in a package, you are prompted to replace the original with the new file. If two distinct package files must keep the same name, you can either create a new package for the additional file or create a separate folder for it in the same package.
Warning! Moving a package item that is linked to a document creates broken links in your content. Because the Broken Links tool does not penetrate packages, it cannot detect when links to items within packages are broken. Therefore, if you plan to move a package item, you should first remove any links to it from your content.
