  • With your items selected, click on the "Move to" button located on the command bar at the top of the library. If you do not see this button, you might need to click on the ellipsis (...) or "More" options to find it. You can also select the ellipsis (...) next to the selected file/folder.

4. Choose Destination

  • A panel will appear. You will see a list of existing folders within the document library. If you see the folder named you want to move to simply select it. If it’s not visible, click on "Browse sites" or use the navigation links to locate and navigate to the root folder.

  • Navigate to the selected folder to ensure that all the selected files and folders have been moved successfully.

7. Check for Errors

  • If any issues arise during the move (such as permission errors or file size limitations), SharePoint will notify you. Address any issues according to the error messages or consult with your SharePoint administrator if needed.
