  2. Select the destination location of the drawer from the drop-down list in the
    Destination location
     field.
  3. Select the appropriate items in the
    Drawers available to copy
     pane.
  4. Select the Select or Select All button to move the items to the
    Drawers to copy
     pane.
  5. If necessary, select appropriate options in the Options section. .
    • The
      Automatically create folders
       checkbox is marked by default. Clear this checkbox if you do not want Digita FileCabinet to automatically duplicate user-created folders in the destination location.
    • Mark the
      Enable application lock during copy process
       checkbox to prevent others from making drawer modifications while you are copying drawers.
    • Mark the
      Copy documents from selected folders only
       checkbox or
      Move documents from selected folders only
