Drag and drop or copy and paste

On some platforms, for example on the Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, the operating system's file system browser can be used to copy folders and files from the file system into the Workbench.

Note: The resource(s) must be dragged to the exact location in the Navigator view hierarchy where the resources are to reside; they cannot be simply dragged and dropped onto a blank area in the Navigator view.

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

  2. Locate the file JanesFile.txt that was 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 the resource is being dropped 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 file system explorer, then selecting the destination in the Navigator and choosing Edit > Paste.
