Copying and Moving Work Areas and Folders

If necessary you can copy or move a work area or folder to another location in the datasource. When you copy a work area or folder, the selected work area or folder and its contents (sub-work areas, subfolders, documents, sets, attributes, workflows, permissions and ownership) get copied to ProjectWise's internal clipboard. When you go to paste, you can determine exactly which items from the source work area or folder will get pasted to the target work area or folder.
