Move Document
What does it do?
The Move Document wizard moves a document in any SharePoint Site Collection in the organization.
How is it used?
A business application may move documents to an archive folder after it successfully completes.
- Wizards can be edited. For more information see Edit Wizards.
A reference to a SharePoint List or Library must be created so that the reference can be used in the move, upload or copy document wizards. To create a reference the Get List Reference or Get Library Reference wizards can be used.
A reference to the SharePoint Document or List item can be created through the Get Document Reference and Get List Item Reference wizards. When using a document or list item reference to specify the document or list item in either the move, copy or upload wizards, you will not see a grid of properties for the destination when the reference is selected.

Select the document reference or browse to a document.
