Project Tree Drag and Drop
--------------------------
The project tree allows dragging and drop to a certain extent, but it does not allow bulk actions.
This is deliberate to avoid accidentally messing up your project. The project tree has no undo
function.
Document files and their folders can be rearranged freely within their root folders. Novel files
cannot be moved out of the :guilabel:`Novel` folder, except to :guilabel:`Trash` and the
:guilabel:`Outtakes` folder. Note files can be moved freely anywhere.
Folders cannot be moved at all outside their root tree. Neither can a folder containing files be
deleted. You must first delete the files.
Root folders in the project tree cannot be dragged and dropped. However, if you want to reorder
them, you can move them up or down with respect to eachother from the :guilabel:`Tools` menu, or by
pressing :kbd:`Ctrl`:kbd:`Shift` and the :kbd:`Up` or :kbd:`Down` key.

Archived Documents (Outtakes)
-----------------------------
If you don't want to delete a file, or put it in the :guilabel:`Trash` folder where it may be
deleted, but still want it out of your main project tree, you can create an :guilabel:`Outtakes`
root folder from the :guilabel:`project` menu. This folder is similar to the :guilabel:`Trash`
folder in that it doesn't allow subfolders and creating new files.
You can drag any file to this folder and preserve its settings. The file will always be excluded
from the :guilabel:`Build Novel Project` builds, even with the setting to ignore the excluded files
option. The file is also removed from the project index, so the tags and references defined in it
will not show up anywhere else.
