Drag and drop or copy and paste

Windows only You can use your operating system's file system browser to copy folders and files from the file system into the Workbench.

Note: You must drag the resource(s) to the exact location in the Navigator view hierarchy where you want the resources to reside; you cannot simply drag and drop them onto a blank area in the Navigator view.

  1. Open your operating system's file system explorer.

  2. Locate the file JanesFile.txt that we recently exported and drag it to a specific location in the Navigator view in the Workbench.  

    When dragging resources into the Navigator, the project/folder that you are trying to drop the resource into will be selected.

    Navigator view

    Drag the file over JaneQUser2 and release the mouse button.

  3. Notice that the file is copied into the Workbench and placed into JaneQUser2.

  4. This can also be achieved by copying the file in the system's file explorer, then selecting the destination in the Navigator and 

    choosing Edit > Paste.
