Sharepoint online move/copy to functions disappeared
tharvey I had a user call with the same issue this morning. After doing a little digging, I realized she was trying to move documents in a Document Library web part, instead of within the Document Library itself. Switching over to the actual Document Library brought back to Move/Copy buttons.

- Great answer.....it was taking me forever to resolve this, but it now seems obvious hahahaha
What does this mean? What does it mean to be in the document library "web part" instead of the document library itself? How to I get to the document library?
- I'm with you. I do not understand the solution. I am not a SharePoint expert and this sounds like inside baseball to me. Lol.
- I am with you. I was totally lost by this explanation but I've now figured it out. (hopefully since June this has all resolved for you, but just for anyone else). In Sharepoint, you have the Vertical menu of "Home, Conversations, Documents, Shared with Us" etc. PICKING/defaulting to "HOME" IS WHAT HAS GIVEN US THIS PROBLEM. Instead, go to "Documents", and start from there to navigate your folders and files. This way, when you click on the little 3 dot ribbon, "copy to" and "move to" are now options again.
madalayne some how I got the options to appear when I clicked See All
Two years from the last comment and this was still the answer. Thanks Sam! Sam_311
