You can move a scan from a default folder to either the My Scans default folder or a custom scan folder. You can also move a scan from a custom folder to the My Scans default folder or a different custom folder.

If you move a scan from the All Scans default folder, the scan appears in both the folder you select and the All Scans folder.

If you move a scan from the My Scans default folder, the scan appears in the custom folder only.

For information about moving a scan to the trash, see Move a Scan to the Trash Folder.
