Moving and Removing Files From Folders

Did You Know?

Spitfire offers several ways to place files into Catalog folders (see How to Upload Files into Folders Using Drag-and-Drop, Move Items into Folders, and the FileCatalogConfig | DefaultFolder rule). However, folder placement is not permanent. Once in a folder, a file can be moved to another folder or removed from all folders altogether.

1. 1. Select Properties.
      
   2. Delete/remove the folder that is listed in the Catalog Folder field.
      

1. Click the save icon then the X icon to close the dialog box. Your file will no longer be in that folder (or any other folder).
   

Note: the file will still show up when you look at your files not filtered by folder.
