Moving A Pages File Into a Folder

How do I transfer a file from Pages into a folder? Example, I have a chapter outline file, a character file, and a first draft. I want to group them into a single folder to make them easier to find. Creating a new folder on the desktop and then clicking and dragging does not work.

Hello QueenCaptain88,


Please check out the information in this link, which explains how to move a Pages document on Mac, and will guide you through that process: Move a Pages document on Mac


Move a Pages document on Mac

You can move a document to another location, including to another folder or to a server, or from iCloud to your Mac and vice versa.

1. Click anywhere in the open document to make it active, then choose File > Move To (from the File menu at the top of your screen).
2. Click the Where pop-up menu and choose a new location.

If you use iCloud Drive, you can move the document to the Pages folder there by choosing Pages—iCloud. If you choose iCloud Drive instead, the document is moved to the main level of iCloud Drive, not to the Pages folder.

For more locations, choose Other at the bottom of the menu, then choose a location. To move the document to a new folder in the selected location, click New Folder in the lower-left corner of the window, type a name for the folder, then click Create.

3. Click Move.
If you’re the owner of a shared document and you’re using iCloud Drive on a device with an older version of iOS or macOS, moving the document to another location may break the link, and the document may become unavailable to participants.


Thanks!
