You can move and copy attachments (files attached from your computer as well as those from external sources such as Google Drive) within your Wrike account to different tasks, folders, or projects. When you move a file, it's removed from its original location. When you copy a file, it's duplicated and a new version is attached elsewhere, requiring additional storage space.
All users can move and copy attachments, but your access role must include permission to remove files from their original location and add files to their intended destination.
-
When you move files you can choose whether or not to include their comments, previous versions, or approval details. If you choose to move a file with its approval details, its full approval history remains visible and users can open the corresponding tasks where those approvals took place.
-
When you copy files you can select to copy the comments as well. Please note that it is possible to copy only the latest version of the file. File approval details can't be copied to the new location.
-
Check the box 1 next to file(s) you want to copy/move from the list of attachments of a task, folder, or project, or switch to Files view to select files from multiple locations at the same time (within one space).
-
Click the Move/Copy 2 above the list of attachments.
-
A dialogue box opens where you can:
-
Choose if you want to move or copy the file(s) 3.
-
Select a destination task, folder, or project for the file(s) 4.
-
If moving files, decide whether to include comments, previous versions, or approval details by checking the appropriate box 5. When copying files, only the option to include comments is available. When copying files only the option to include comments is available.
-
Click Move file(s) or Copy file(s) 6.
-
Note
Files pending approval can't be moved, but they can be copied. Another way to move or copy files is to right-click a file in the list of attachments under the task and then select Move/Copy 7. It's possible to move and copy files the same way from Files view, as well as from the Files dashboard widget.
Tip
If you need to copy the task, folder, or project description along with images, use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste them. This way, all content will be added to the new location, and all images will be attached to the selected task, folder, or project.
You can copy images to your clipboard to share them outside of your Wrike account (or paste them into the description field of a task, project, or folder).
Important
By default, this option is available only for Google Chrome users. However, you can enable it in Firefox (version 87.0 and higher). To do so: open Firefox, enter about:config in the address bar, and press Enter. Then search for dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem in the search bar and set it to true.
To copy an image to your clipboard:
-
Open an image from the list of attachments.
-
Right-click the image.
-
Select Copy to clipboard 1.
Note
The image is copied without any additional details from Wrike (e.g. image location in Wrike, comments, versions, etc.).
