Copy or move

You can copy or move single or multiple content at once. With copy the system creates a new content, a copy of the chosen item(s) in a chosen target container and keeps the original one(s) as well. Using move lets you move a content(s) to another container.

Always check the allowed child types set on the chosen target container, because it can result in an unsuccessful copy or move if the target does not allow the types you want to move.

Another limitation is that a children of a content list cannot be copied or moved to another content list since there could be custom local fields added to the source list that are not available on the target list and could cause data loss. A workaround for this (if you do not mind losing list field data) is to first move the content to a temporary folder outside of the source list then move it to the target location.

Copy a single content

The following example will copy the content that the action is called on to the given target container:

Copy

url: "/OData.svc/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago('100Pages.pdf')/CopyTo",
type: 'POST',
data: "models=[" + JSON.stringify({
    'targetPath': '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Munich'
  }) + "]",

Copy multiple content

The next examples shows how to copy multiple documents into another folder:

Copy

url: "/OData.svc/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/CopyBatch",
type: 'POST',
data: "models=[" + JSON.stringify({
    'targetPath': '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Munich',
    'paths': [
      '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/100Pages.pdf',
      '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/400Pages.pdf'
    ]
  }) + "]",

Move a single content

The following example shows how to move a content to a given target folder:

Copy

url: "/OData.svc/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago('100Pages.pdf')/MoveTo",
type: 'POST',
data: "models=[" + JSON.stringify({
    'targetPath': '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Munich'
  }) + "]",

Move multiple content

Next example shows how to move multiple documents into another target folder:

Copy

url: "/OData.svc/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/MoveBatch",
type: 'POST',
data: "models=[" + JSON.stringify({
    'targetPath': '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Munich',
    'paths': [
      '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/100Pages.pdf',
      '/Root/Content/IT/Document_Library/Chicago/400Pages.pdf'
    ]
  }) + "]",
