Move Documents
One of the great things about HeadTreez is that you can reogranize your documents as you change your mind about how pages should be arranged. Undoubtedly, as you add more documents you will want to nest your documents differently than you did the day you first created your HeadTree.
This is a good time to emphasize that everything in your HeadTree menu is a document (or a page). There are no folders. Documents can have child documents, which makes the menu appear to represent folders with child documents.
All documents can be arranged in any manner that suits you with the exception that the very first item in your menu (your home page), can never be moved. It is the root of your HeadTree.
There are 2 types of movement of your documents and both types of movement are done on the 'Move Documents' page:
- Move up/down
- Re-root (move to a different parent document)
From the 'My Documents' page, click 'Move Documents' in the top menu.
This opens the 'Move Documents' page which contains 2 lists of your documents.
To re-order documents without changing the parent document:
- Select the document to move in the left list.
- Use the 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' buttons.
*Note that once the document is the first or last document under it's parent it can not be moved any further up or down the tree to a different parent by using the 'Move Up' or 'Move Down' buttons.
Re-root (move page to a new section of the menu)
- In the left list, select the document to move.
- In the right list, select the new parent.
- Click the 'Re-root' button, to move the document to its new location.
*Note that the document is moved to the last position under its new parent so you may need to use the 'Move Up' function of the left menu to adjust its position.
In the picture below, 'Preview Documents' is a child of 'My Documents' and we are moving it to the new parent of 'My Site'.
If you move an item that has child objects, all the child objects will move with it. This allows you to move a group of objects by moving the parent. You may view parent documents as folders. If you moved a folder you expect all the contents of that folder to still be in the folder after you move it. Moving a document with child documents works the same as moving a folder with files.
