Dragging Catalog Items Between Content Browser Windows

Move tools, tool palettes, or tool packages from one catalog location to another by dragging them between two Content Browser windows. Moving an item removes it from its original location, while copying an item retains the original.

Note:

You must have write-access to the original catalog before you can move it. For more information, see Setting Catalog Access Rights.

1. Open two Content Browser windows; use Ctrl+N to open the second window.
2. In the first Content Browser window, display the catalog item that you want to move or copy.
3. In the second Content Browser window, open the target catalog, category, tool palette, or tool package to send the item to (only tools can be sent to palettes and packages).
4. In the first Content Browser window, move the pointer over the i-drop icon associated with the item to be moved, so that the pointer image changes to an eyedropper ().
