13.11 Copying Documents

You can copy documents and their properties to create similar documents. Copying a document creates a new document in the library.

When you copy a document you can specify how you want to create document properties for the new document. You can specify properties manually for the document, or you can have GroupWise create properties for you using the values in the original document.

Copying Groups of Documents

You can copy groups of documents using the Mass Document Operations Wizard. To copy a group of documents you must have View rights to each document, or you must have Manage rights and be a librarian for the library. For more information see Copying a Group of Documents.
