What to do when you need to share an Answer File with a colleague who is not connected to the same network? Or, you're about to change from the Chicago branch to New York, each of which maintains its own Path? Here is a demonstration of how to move an Answer file or the entire Answer folder from one location to another.
Summary
In this explanation, the speaker discusses a scenario where a person working for a large firm needs to transfer client information from one office location to another. The information is stored in answer files within the program Doxserá or TheFormTool. The process involves locating the path where these files are stored using the options path screen. Once identified, the user can copy the path and navigate to it using Windows file explorer.
Within the identified location, various background information maintained by the program is visible, including an "answers" folder. Inside this folder, there may be subfolders and actual answer files. The speaker advises caution in this area to avoid accidental deletion or rearrangement that could disrupt the program.
Backup files with squiggly marks are present at the top of the list, and these are explained as backup copies of answer files. The user is encouraged to ignore these backups. To transfer files to the new location, the user can copy the desired answer files and paste them into the corresponding folder in the new location, making them immediately available for use. The process allows for either copying all files or selecting specific ones based on preference.
