How can I move or copy content in SharePoint and maintain metadata?

When you drag and drop files from one SharePoint library to another you will lose the metadata - that is the information attached to the file such as who created the file and when it was created. If you wish to maintain the metadata you can copy or move files using the method below.

Note: You cannot copy or move the entire library - only the contents of the library.
You will need edit permission on both the source and destination libraries.

1. Open the source document library
2. Select the folder or items you wish to move or copy
3. With the folder or items selected click on the ellipse menu and select Move to or Copy to 
   
4. A menu will open on the right hand side of the screen - select the destination site or click on ‘Show more’ if it is not displayed
   
5. Select the destination site or click on ‘Show more’ if it is not displayed
6. When you have navigated to the required destination click ‘Move here’
