•CTRL to copy a section and drop the copy at the same level in the tree.

•CTRL + ALT to copy a section and drop the copy as a child section.

Note: You can select only one section at a time; you cannot use SHIFT+Click or CTRL+Click to select more than one section.

To move sections between EXM files, open two instances of EZConfig Editor and drag and drop sections between the session windows. When dragging, a copy of the section is dragged to the new file. When dropping, drop the section directly on top of the section where you want the child section to appear.

Note: To drop the first section into a new file, press and hold the ALT key and drop the section on the root node. All sections must be child sections of the root node.

Section-Level Merge Modes

EXM files ship with section-level merge modes already defined according to section content. Merge modes determine how section information is handled when an updated EXM file is deployed to the terminal where an existing version of that EXM file is stored.

Merge modes are indicated by folder icons and in the Status bar.
