# Moving, Copying, and Filing E-mail and attachments

**Filing Email**

Users can file an email within *DMSforLegal* through the **Filing Pane**:

1. Select the email
2. Place cursor inside DMSforLegal **Filing Pane**text field box. If the Filing Pane is not visible click the **Filing Pane** button on the DMSforLegal tab on the Outlook ribbon.
3. **Type**destination location![](https://www.epona.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/04/image053-1.png)
4. Click **File** button to the right of the file bar. The email will be left inside the user’s mailbox and a copy has been filed to the chosen destination.
5. When filing an email through the **Filing Pane** it is also possible to subscribe to the filing destination by clicking the **+ symbol**, or to navigate to that folder by clicking the **> symbol**.![](https://www.epona.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/12/2021-12-17_12-21-47.png)
6. The email now displays “Filed” and a yellow stripe is present to indicate the filed status at a glance from the inbox. The *Categories* column will also receive a yellow box and “Filed” status for that email.

**Copying and Moving Emails**

By clicking the dropdown arrow to the right of the **File**button, you can also choose the *copy*and *move*options, instead of filing the email directly.

You can also move emails into your *DMSforLegal* folder by dragging and dropping email from your mailbox to the site, subsite, or folder on the DMSforLegal tree.

#### **Filing email attachments separately**

It is possible to file an email attachment separately from the email.

1. Click the **arrow symbol** right next to the attachment.
2. Select either **Save to DMSforLegal** or**Save All Attachments To DMSforLegal**. The former is used when only one attachment needs to be saved. The latter is used when multiple attachments need to be saved simultaneously. ** **
