Moving entities
In the new Network section, you can safely and efficiently move entities between locations with the help of context-aware messages tailored to your selected destination.
To move entities:
Use the Move option in the Actions menu in the grid area to relocate one or multiple entities simultaneously.
Alternatively, use the Move option in the contextual menu within the tree view to relocate individual entities.
When using this action, a configuration page provides detailed information to minimize accidental or unwanted relocation of your network entities.
