About Moving and Linking Claims

• Claims in a discussion can be either moved or linked in a new location.
• Moving a claim to a new location will remove it from its old location.
• Linking a claim will copy it to a new location while also keeping it in its original location, allowing it to be in multiple locations. Edits to a linked claim or the claims underneath it will be updated everywhere it is linked. If a linked claim is deleted in one location, it will still exist in the other locations. 
• If a claim is better placed in a new location, it should be moved there. If a claim is appropriately placed in multiple locations, it should be linked there. 

How to Move or Link a Claim

To move or link a claim: 

1. Drag a claim into the clipboard in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
2. Navigate to the new location. Then, drag and drop the claim where appropriate (if moving it onto a claim, the left-hand side will place it under the claim as a pro, the right-hand side as a con). 
3. Select whether to Move or Link the claim in the new location.

Tips:

If you are on a mobile device, you may find it easier to alternatively open the claim menu by right clicking a claim, or left clicking the … Menu icon on a claim, and selecting Copy to Clipboard. Then, navigate to the target location claim, open the claim menu again, and select Paste.

This short video will also walk you through the steps required to move/link a claim, as well as several other key features of a Kialo discussion.
