More information about copying and pasting folders

You can copy and paste user-created folders one level deep. Sometimes, you may want to transfer a folder with more folder buttons inside of it. When you open this folder after transferring it, the folder buttons inside it will appear grayed out. They will not respond when tapped. In Edit Mode, you will see a jagged line through these broken folder buttons. For instructions on how to fix this, see Grayed out folder buttons.
