Dragging Items in the Repository
You can move or add documents in the repository by dragging the items. You can move multiple documents or folders by dragging the items to other locations.
In the Browse view, you can drag items from the tree to the content list and from the content list to the tree. You can drag documents, but not folders, to anywhere in the Browse view or onto the search results area.
It matters where you drag to add a document. Dragging a document to various areas leads to the following results:
Drag a document to a folder in search results or to any folder in the Browse view. The document is added to the folder.
Drag a document to the search results, but not in a folder. The document is added to the current repository.
Drag a document directly into a folder in the search results. If the search results are a list of documents, you can drag the document to the results. However, you must select the class and folder where you want to add the item. If you drag a document to these search results, the Add Document wizard starts in the current repository.
Restriction: Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 9 does not support dragging content from your file system into ECS.
