    Move to is in the file menu. In the details panel, the Folder pop-up menu changes the folder too.

    A message says Moved “Depot permit letter.txt” to “References”. The count beside References goes up and the count beside Top level goes down. The details panel shows References in its Folder field.

    Only the files inside that folder are listed. Click All files to see every file again.
