2. When copying or moving an item you can copy or move it within This List (or use the drop-down menu to choose a different list) and use the Copy into section drop-down menu to choose a the section to copy or move it to.
   

If you choose to delete an item, the item is moved to the list's recycle bin. Deleted items remain in the recycle bin for up to 30 days, so if you change your mind you can restore the item and return it to the list.

The recycle bin is only visible when it contains items. It appears on the sidebar menu at the top righthand side of the list:

If you change your mind about deleting an item you can restore the item from the recycle bin. See the video and instructions below: Restore deleted items from recycle bin in Leganto video

To restore items:

• Click on the recycle bin icon (top righthand menu bar)
• You can then drag an item back to the list using the drag handle 
• or
• In the recycle bin, hover your mouse over the item you want to restore
• click the green down arrow to expand the item:

• then choose the Restore button, and then specify which list section to add it back to:

You can copy or move items to a specific place within the list or another list using a clipboard.

See a video about using the clipboard at: https://youtu.be/eq1ixFokNCQ?si=TKio4oZQ3u5fsUEq (3 mins 42 seconds)

• When you click on the 3 dots next to a citation and choose either Copy item or Move item, you’ll see the clipboard option is available. The clipboard acts as a place to temporarily store the items while they are being copied and until they are moved.

• When you copy an item to the clipboard, you’ll see the clipboard icon appear on the menu on the righthand side of the list:

• Click on the Clipboard icon, then click on the citation you want to copy/move to expand it:

• You’ll see you can choose where to copy/move the clipped item to: this list, another list, Favourites.
• Or Items can be copied or moved to a specific place within the current list using the drag and drop functionality

If you add a number of items to the clipboard, you can copy/move the items in bulk to another section in the same list.

• Click the checkboxes next to the items and choose the Select Section option above the items:

Note: The clipboard is temporary and is cleared at the end of your session

1. Instead of seeing the options to copy or move the item within This list and choose a different section, you might only be only get the option to Copy into list i.e.to choose a different list.
   
   
   It is likely that the list you are working on is not included in your My Lists. 
   Click the Add to my lists icon on the banner at top of the page and then try again to copy or move the item.
   
    
2. Alternatively, when trying to copy or move an item to a different list, the module you want might not be in the drop-down menu.
   There are a number of possible explanations:
   (a) A list has not been created for the other module yet.
   (b) A list has been created for the other module but it is not in your My Lists.
   (c) You are not an instructor or collaborator on the other list (you can only edit or add material if you are an instructor or collaborator).
   
   - If you are a teacher on the other module, go to the Canvas module and click Reading List.
   - If a reading list exists, click List info on the banner at the top to check the reading list instructor and askto be added as a collaborator.
   - Alternatively, contact the Library.
   - You may still have to add the list to your My favorites (see above).
