File and Folder icons can be selected by clicking the left mouse button. Once you have selected a file or folder, the File Manager Selected menu options enable you to perform a number of tasks including:

Move to Move the selected object to another folder location.
Copy to Copy the selected object to another folder location or to a different named folder or file.
Copy as Link Link the folder or file to another folder or file name. (This option creates a symbolic link with the same name as the original file or folder. Links are not covered in this course.)
Rename Allows changing the names of file and folders.
Put in Workspace Place the object on the workspace area. This placement makes that object available whether or not you have a File Manager window open.
