Copying files from the Green Room to Core

Directly copying files from the Green Room to the Core can only be performed by users with the Project Administrator role in the Project, or by users delegated with the Copy to Core permission in a custom role.
Instructions
In the Project File Explorer, open the Green Room and navigate to the folder where the file(s) are stored.
Select one or more files and/or folders to be copied by clicking the checkbox beside each one, then select Copy to Core.
In the confirmation pop-up, select a destination folder.
A confirmation code is randomly generated. Type the code in the entry box to confirm your intention to copy the selected files to the specified destination, then click Confirm.
Another popup confirms the action was completed. Click Close to dismiss.
After completing the Copy action, your files are visible in the File Explorer Core folder destination and can be accessed by all Project members who have View permissions in the Core. Your files will remain in their original location in the Green Room with a copied-to-core system tag applied.
Considerations
Large files may take some time to copy to the Core. To view the progress, open the File Status panel in the Main Menu.
If a file with same name (case insensitive) already exists in the destination folder in the Core, the file will be copied and a time-stamp will be appended to its filename.
If a folder with the same name already exists in the destination, the files will be copied into the existing folder and a datetime string will be appended to the duplicate filenames.
The original file remains in the Green Room and a copy of the file is moved to the destination folder in the Core.
The new Core file metadata and Data Lineage properties are updated:
Created - the timestamp indicating the time the copy was created.
Data Lineage Pipeline - copy - indication that the files were copied to the core.
The original Green Room file metadata and Data Lineage properties are updated:
System tag - copied-to-core applied
Data Lineage Pipeline - move - indication of the number of times the files were copied to the core.
