Move using drag and drop
Using drag and drop in the Navigation Area, as well as in general, is a four-step process:click the element | click on the element again, and hold left mouse button | drag the element to the desired location | let go of mouse button
This allows you to:
- Move elements between different folders in the Navigation Area
- Drag from the Navigation Area to the View Area: A new view is opened in an existing View Area if the element is dragged from the Navigation Area and dropped next to the tab(s) in that View Area.
- Drag from the View Area to the Navigation Area: The element, e.g. a sequence, alignment, search report etc. is saved where it is dropped. If the element already exists, you are asked whether you want to save a copy. You drag from the View Area by dragging the tab of the desired element.
Use of drag and drop is supported throughout the program, also to open and re-arrange views (see Arrange views in View Area).
Note that if you move data between locations, the original data is kept. This means that you are essentially doing a copy instead of a move operation.
