# Copy, cut, move

### Copy and paste

You can duplicate files by either:

* Right clicking a file or folder and selecting **Make a copy**
* Selecting a file or folder and pressing `Command+C` (`Control+C` if you're on Windows), then navigating to where you want to paste your files, and pressing `Command+P` (`Control+P`). 
  * When you copy the files, you should see a small popup that looks like this:
  * ![](/files/PCkyie2BIFgRpKvqKs8v)

### Cut and paste

You can also cut and paste files by pressing `Command+X` (`Control+X` if you're on Windows), then navigating to where you want to paste your files, and pressing `Command+P` (`Control+P`).  

Note that cutting will remove the files from the original location and move them to the new location, while copying will preserve the files in the original location and increase your storage usage.

### Move

You can move files in your file system by either clicking and dragging, or right clicking and selecting the **Move** option.

This will open a modal where you can select the new destination for the selected files.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.biodock.ai/files/view-and-manage-data/copy-cut-move.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
