Click to toggle expandTo move a layer and its content from one page (source) to another (destination) on the Editions main tab

1.Make sure that on Edit > Preferences, Move the layer shared with d&d from other edition (instead of copy) is ticked, and that Try auto check-out on d&d is ticked.

2.Open the source edition (from which you want to move layer) and then open the destination edition (where you want to move layer).

3.Right-click the label of the destination edition, and then select Tile vertically. This will bring two editions side-by-side.

4.On the Edition pages tab of the source edition, expand the page from which you want to move the layer and identify the layer you want to drag away,

5.Press SHIFT and then drag the layer onto the icon of the destination page (not onto its layers, but onto the page icon!)

6.Confirm you want to replace layer, if prompted.

7.Save both editions.

Notes

•The described operation moves the layer from the source edition (that remains without that layer) to the destination edition.

•If the destination edition has more layers of the same kind, e.g. editorial, the replacement of layer won't work even if you click Yes when prompted to confirm the replace. In such case, right click the old layer, check it out, and then delete it manually.
