Copying Folders and Content References

Access the Copy Object to a Different Portal Registry page (Select PeopleTools, and then Portal, and then Structure and Content, and then Portal Objects, and then Content Ref Administration. Click the Copy Object button).

To copy an object:

1. Navigate to the portal registry to which you want to copy the object.

   Click the portal name to copy the object to root level. To expand the folders and navigate further into the registry structure, click the folder icon (not the folder name).

   Important:

   Clicking the folder name starts the copying process.

2. (Optional) If you are copying a folder, the Recurse subfolders? check box appears. Select this check box to copy the folder and all the subfolders and content references within it.

3. Click the folder name to copy the object into that folder.

4. Click the Yes - Copy button to proceed.

WARNING:

If you attempt to copy an object to a location that already contains an object of the same name and type, the newly copied object replaces the existing object. For example, if you copy a folder and subfolders to another portal where a subfolder by that name already exists, the existing subfolder is deleted and replaced with the subfolder from the source portal. No warning message appears.
