How to Move, Rename, Copy or Delete an Item

Site organization methods and tips for moving assets, changing system names, creating copies and deleting assets. 

Move, rename, copy or delete an item one of two ways:

• using context menu (a right-click on an asset in the asset tree)
• navigate to the item and select ' ••• More' in the 'Action Toolbar'

How to perform each task:

• Move - Move an asset into a different folder. From the menu (either method mentioned above) be sure to click on the current folder and browse to select the New Folder where the asset should be moved. 
  Note: moving an asset will change the live URL of it.
• Rename - Change the system name of an asset. 
  Note: renaming an asset will change the live URL of it.
• Copy - Duplicate an asset. From the menu (either method mentioned above) be sure to click on the current folder and browse to select the New Folder where the asset should be copied. 
  Tip: Copying a page can be an efficient method of ensuring consistency across your site. If your site consists of multiple pages using the same layout, consider using/creating base assets (in the internal folder) to use as a starting point and copy it when creating new pages.
• Delete - Remove an asset

IMPORTANT: When moving, renaming or deleting, the file/image/page/etc. will be unpublished from the live website in its current location. It is important to make sure no other assets are using or referring to it (relationships) in order to avoid broken links or other web issues. If moving/renaming an item be sure to also publish any relationships the moved item has too! 

Note: For user with a contributor (editor) role submitting content into a workflow, don't worry about correcting relationships. Your delete or move request will prompt the webteam or custodian to handle that aspect! 

Cascade will notify you if you delete something with relationships but also keep in mind any print or third party relationships that may not be managed by Cascade when deleting or moving items.
