In Laserfiche Client 8, the Thumbnail Pane provides more than just a bird’s-eye view of your document pages—it also allows you to work with these pages in a variety of ways, including rotating, copying, deleting, and moving pages within a single document or even between other existing and new documents. In this week’s Tech Tip, we’ll walk you through the steps for performing these simple, yet vital actions.

To rotate a page within a document:

1. In the Thumbnail Pane, select the page you want to rotate. To select more than one page, hold the CTRL key while you select.
2. Right-click the page and point to Rotate Image(s).
3. Click Clockwise, Counterclockwise, or Upside-Down.

To move pages within a document:

1. Select the page’s thumbnail. To select more than one page, hold the CRTL key while you select.
2. Drag and drop the page into a new location in the document.

Note: You can also move a page by right-clicking it, selecting Cut, and pasting it into a new location.

To delete pages from a document:

1. Select the pages you want to delete and do one of the following:

• Right-click and select Delete.
• Press the DELETE key.

Note: In Client 8.1 and later, individual pages deleted from a document are sent to the recycle bin, where they can be permanently purged or restored to the original document.

You can also use the Thumbnail Pane to move and copy pages between different documents, as well as split pages from one document into multiple new documents. These actions are especially useful if you find that, in the process of scanning several documents, pages have been mixed up across documents and need to be reorganized.

To move pages from one document to another:

1. Open the documents you want to reorganize in separate Document Viewers with the Thumbnail Panes displayed.
2. Select the pages you want to move from the first document.
3. Drag and drop the pages into the Thumbnail Pane of the other document.

Note: You can also move pages between documents by right-clicking the pages, selecting Cut, and pasting them into the other document.

To copy pages from one document to another:

1. Open both documents in separate Document Viewers.
2. Select the pages from the first document, right-click, and select Copy.
3. Right-click in the other document’s Thumbnail Pane where you want to place the pages, and select Paste.

To split the pages of a document into a new document:

1. Select the pages you want to use to create a new document, right-click, and select New Document.
2. In the New Document dialog box, configure the new document’s properties, including its name, folder location, and any metadata you want to associate with it.

Note: By default, the new document will inherit the metadata properties of the parent document.
