Changing Document and Folder Volumes

A volume represents the physical hard drive location where images, text, and electronic files for a particular document are stored. Although folders are not stored in volumes, you can also set a volume on a folder; that volume will serve as the default volume for documents created in that folder. (See Options: New Documents: General for more information on default volumes.)

You can also assign a document to a particular volume, or to its parent folder's volume, during document creation or import. See Import and New Document Dialog Box for more information.

Note: A migration in progress can be stopped by clicking Cancel under the progress bar. Entries migrated before the cancellation will remain in the new volume location.

Migrating Documents to a Volume

  1. From the folder browser, select the documents to be migrated.
  2. In the Tasks menu, click Migrate Entries.
  3. In the ClosedMigrate Entries dialog box, select the volume to be assigned to your documents.
