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.

Here is how you can fix this:

1. Go to Options > User and return to the original user.
2. Go inside the folder you copied and pasted.
3. Open Edit Mode, select all the folder buttons, and tap Copy .
4. Tap Done to exit Edit Mode.
5. Go to Options > User and return to the user you were pasting into.
6. Go inside the folder where you want to paste the folder buttons. Then, open Edit Mode.
7. Tap Paste in the Edit Mode toolbar.
8. Tap the buttons you just pasted in to deselect them.
9. Tap the broken folder buttons to select them. Then, tap Delete . Confirm that you want to delete the buttons permanently.
10. Tap Done to exit Edit Mode.

If you copy and paste a folder into a user that already has a folder with the same name, the customizations will not transfer. Proloquo2Go will simply create a folder button linking to the version that already exists in that user’s vocabulary. Instead, you should go inside the folder in the first user, copy any buttons missing from the second user’s version of the folder, switch users, and paste them into the second user’s version of the folder.

*On iPhone and iPod touch, you will find the Options button in the Tools popup at the far left of the bottom toolbar.
