Moving Items Between Libraries in Volocity

The most convenient way to move items between libraries in Volocity is by using the Library Clipping export format. This method allows you to export and import items seamlessly between libraries.

Steps to Move Items Between Libraries:

1. Export Items from the Source Library:

   • Select the item(s) in the open library that you wish to move.
   • Go to the File menu and select Export.
   • Enter a name for the file and choose a location to save it.
   • From the Save as type dropdown menu, select Library Clipping (*.acff) as the export format.
   • If multiple items are selected, the Export dialog will display a Naming... button.
     • Use this button to define how individual files will be named.
   • Click the Export button to save the library clipping file.

2. Import Items into the Target Library:

   • Open the target library where you want to import the items.
   • Drag and drop the Library Clipping (.acff) file into the library view.

The selected items will now be added to the new library, maintaining their integrity and structure.
