Moving and deleting assets

Assets in folders, search results, the Uploaded page, and the asset detail page have an option menu with actions for relocating and removing them. This article covers Move and Delete, plus how deleted assets are recovered. Open the menu by clicking the three-dot icon next to an asset. Moving and deleting require a Manager or Admin role.

Inside a Collage, the asset menu offers Remove From Collage instead of Move and Delete — that takes the asset out of the Collage without deleting it. See Creating and managing Collages.

Move an asset

Moving relocates an asset to a different folder without creating a copy:

1. From the asset option menu, select Move. (To move several assets at once, select them on a folder page or the Uploaded page and use Move in the bulk action bar.)
2. In the popup, use the Search Folder or Sub Folder box or scroll the folder list to find a destination. Click the arrow on a folder to see its subfolders.
3. To create a destination that doesn't exist yet, click the + icon.
4. Click Move. This button enables only after you pick a folder.

You can select only one destination, and you can't move an asset to the folder it's already in. Once moved, the original folder no longer contains the asset.

Folders move the same way, from the folder's option menu. You can't move a folder into itself or one of its subfolders; to make a folder top-level, click Move without picking a destination.

Delete an asset

Deleting removes an asset from your active workspace and sends it to Trash:

1. From the asset option menu, select Delete.
2. Confirm.

Recover a deleted asset

After deleting, you have 30 days to recover the asset from Trash:

• Restore — returns the asset to its original location. Managers and Admins can restore.
• Delete — permanently removes the asset; this can't be undone. Only Admins can permanently delete.
• Items left in Trash are automatically deleted after 30 days.

See Recovering deleted items from Trash for restoring or deleting many items at once.

Always review an asset before deleting it, and remember you can restore it if you change your mind.
