Move a file to another project

Chief: Managing files — Move a file to another project
  1. Open the menu and choose Move to Project.
  2. Pick the destination project. You can keep the file’s Labels with it using the label-transfer option.
  3. Confirm. When it succeeds, choose to stay where you are or go to the destination project.

​
Copy a file to another project

Chief: Managing files — Copy a file to another project
  1. Open the menu and choose Copy to Project.
  2. Pick the destination project and confirm. The original stays in place and a copy is added to the other project.

​
Delete a file

Chief: Managing files — Delete a file
  1. Open the menu and choose Delete File.
  2. Confirm in the warning dialog. The file is removed from this project’s Library.
⚠️ Important: Deleting a file is permanent and also removes it from any chats, Labels, Collections, and Concepts that drew on it. Rename and Download are only available once a file finishes processing — if they’re disabled, wait for processing to complete.

FAQ

You may not have permission to add files to the destination project. Contact that project’s owner or administrator if you believe you should.
No. Moving relocates the file to the destination project. Use Copy to Project instead if you want it in both places.
Deleting removes the file from this project for good; there’s no undo. To restore it, add it again — re-upload the file, re-add the URL, or copy it back from another project if you still have it there.
