Rules for Copying/Moving Folders
When you copy or move a folder, you also copy/move all of its subfolders.
All properties assigned to a folder (permissions, metadata, templates, etc.) remain assigned after the copy or move. However, you can edit the folder in its new location and adjust its properties as needed.
Any Inherit checkboxes (see example below) that were checked are now unchecked. After the copy/move, you can check them again as needed.
The Root folder cannot be copied or moved
You cannot copy or move a folder into its own subfolder
You cannot move a folder to same level in the folder structure
You can copy a folder to same level in the folder structure. If you do, a number is appended to the copied folder's name, such as calendar(1).
If you move a folder, its content retains its status. That is, if content's status was checked out (O) before the move, it is checked out after the move. See Also: Content Statuses
If you copy a folder, only content in Approved status is copied to the new folder. Content in any other status is not copied.
All folder content that follows the above rules is moved/copied. This includes all language versions of those items.

* Although you can copy or move a catalog folder to a non-catalog folder, its content is not copied/moved -- only the folder.
