| Hippo CMS version | 6.04.00 and later |
Move document workflow action
From version 6.04.00 documents can be moved to a different location using the new "move document" workflow action (Reviewed Actions workflow). The user chooses a new location, and the system moves the document there, keeping its workflow consistent. Moving a document is only possible while a document is in the editable state (not when it is requested for publication, depublication or deletion).

The move document action is only available from the actions view in the Documents tab, not from the editor toolbar.
Preparing the repository
To use the move document workflow action, you need a properly initialized repository. From version 1.2.11, Hippo Repository will come properly initialized for move document out of the box. If you use version 1.2.10 or earlier, you need to reinitialize it using the Repository Initialization Tool, version 1.01.01 or later.
You can either download a prebuilt uberjar from:
or check out the source code from our SVN repository and build it yourself:
svn co https://svn.hippocms.org/repos/hippo/hippo-tools/repository-initialization/tags/Release-REPOINIT-v1_01_01/ repository-initialization
Then run the uberjar as described on Initializing the Hippo Repository, with at least the following properties set to true:
operation.assignStandardPrivilegesToRoles=true operation.createReviewedActionsPrivilegesAndAssignToRoles=true operation.assignReviewedActionsHistoryPrivilegesToRoles=true
All other properties can be set to false.
