Moving a Story
When you move a story, you remove it from its original location and place it in its new location.
Stories can be moved within a single queue or between queues.
For instance, as stories in a rundown queue develop, the order they will be presented in a
newscast can change. Authorized individuals (usually production staff) can rearrange the order
of stories in a queue by moving them around in the Queue panel until the order works for that
newscast. Another possibility is when a story, written for one show, will actually be used in
another show, in which case a user could move the story from the original rundown queue to the
other.
You must have write permission to both the source and destination locations to move a story or
stories. Any stories that are locked or require write-permission will be copied rather than moved.
To move a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to move.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
2. In the Queue panel, click the selector button to the left of the story you want to move.

If your cursor is on a row, you can select entire row by pressing Shift+Spacebar. If the row is
within a story group, holding the Shift down and pressing Spacebar twice will select all stories
(rows) in the story group.
3. Do one of the following:
t Drag the story to the new location within the queue.
t Press and hold the Shift key, then drag the story to another destination queue in the
Directory panel.
t If you have a second workspace open, you can drag the story from its original queue to a
destination queue opened in the other workspace.

If stories are dragged to a queue in a position within a story group, the stories will be added to
that story group. For more information on story grouping, see “Grouping Stories” on page 95.
