Move a Page or Copy a Page

Copying or moving a page can only be done by someone with permissions to access Explorer Studio. To copy or move a page:

1. Open the page in Studio (first open the page, and then click Edit  on the Page tab of the ribbon).
2. Click 'Save As'  on the Studio toolbar.
3. Save the page to a workspace. Note that -copy is automatically appended to the page name, so you may want to change this. 
   - If you want to move the page to a different workspace, select a different workspace.
   - If you want to copy the page to the same workspace, the name must be different to the current page (names must be unique within a workspace).

This copies the page, and you will need to delete the old page if you want to remove it from the old workspace.

Rename a Page

Renaming a page can only be done by someone with permissions to access Explorer Studio. To rename a page:

1. Open the page in Studio (first open the page, and then click Edit  on the Page tab of the ribbon).
2. Click 'Save As'  on the Studio toolbar.
3. Save the page with a new name, in the same workspace. 
   - Note that -copy is automatically appended to the page name, so you may want to change this.
   - Names must be unique within a workspace.

This copies the page, and you will need to delete the old page if you want to remove it from the workspace.

Deleting a Page

Deleting a page can only be done by someone with permissions to edit workspaces. To delete a page:

1. Click Workspaces on the Home tab of the ribbon, and find the page you want to delete. 

2. In the Workspaces window, click the Select button.

3. Click the page you want to delete.

Note: You can click multiple pages if you want to delete more than 1 page.

4. Click the Delete button.

The page is deleted from the workspace.

Note: You can delete any of the pages in your private workspace in My Environment. Hover over a page title in the My Pages list, and click the Delete button.

Trends

Move a Trend or Copy a Trend

1. Open the trend.
2. In the Trend tab of the ribbon, click the 'Save'  button.
3. Save the trend to the new workspace. Note that -copy is automatically appended to the trend name, so you may want to change this. 
   - If you want to move the trend to a different workspace, select a different workspace.
   - If you want to copy the trend to the same workspace, the name must be different to the current trend (names must be unique within a workspace).

This copies the trend, and you will need to delete the old trend if you want to remove it from the old workspace.

Rename a Trend

1. Open the trend.
2. In the Trend tab of the ribbon, click the 'Save'  button.
3. Save the trend with a new name, in the same workspace.
