Keep a separate version of a useful file, folder, article, or supported app project in My Docs. The original stays where it is, and your personal copy can develop independently.
Prepare A Destination
•Sign in and open the source - Confirm that you can read the material you want to copy. Copying cannot grant access to an unavailable source.
•Open My Docs - Use the right toolbar to show your personal library beside the source workspace.
•Choose a folder - Expand the personal tree to the intended destination. Use the root if you do not need a folder yet.
If the folder does not exist, use Docs to open the full personal workspace, create it there, then return to the source and reopen My Docs.
Copy The Intended Material
•Review your selection - In Documents, select the exact items you want. Dragging one highlighted card carries the complete selected set; dragging an unselected card carries only that item.
•Drag toward My Docs - Aim at the personal panel or the intended folder and look for accepted copy feedback such as Copy into My Docs.
•Release on the destination - Let the copy finish. A pending row is not yet a document ready to open.
•Cancel before release if needed - If the wrong destination is highlighted, end the active drag without accepting it and begin again.
You can also copy supported chat attachments through their drag interaction. App projects require support for copying their content; an unsupported type may be refused.
Check The New Version
•Open the personal destination - Confirm the copied item appears under the folder you chose.
•Inspect the contents - Open the file or app project. For a folder, inspect its nested material as well as the outer folder name.
•Return to the source - Confirm the original is still in its community location. You have made a copy, not moved the shared material.
Your personal changes do not flow back into the original. Give the copy a useful name if you need to distinguish a working version from the shared reference.
If Copying Stops
Read the reported failure, then inspect the personal destination. Earlier completed items or part of a folder may remain after a later failure. Retry only what is missing once the cause is resolved.
A source can be readable without supporting a complete app-document copy. When you only need a route back to the shared version, use View Later instead. My Docs explains the privacy and storage differences.
