    Hey,

    Does anyone know of a way to export from collections (can't see anything in collection views settings) or better yet move one Collection resource to another parent resource.

    This is for primarily "archiving" old news which no longer needs to be within that collection (but the client doesn't want to completely delete them, or have them making many many pages).

    Thanks!
    • You can manually (or programmatically) change the parent of one of the children in its Settings tab. A plugin might be useful.

        Thanks Susan, I'm going investigate further! Would you happen to know if it would be possible to add a custom batch function into Collections? I don't seem to be able to find anything in the docs/github

        Think I've found a temporarily fix using the Batcher extra, but it would be nice to be able to "archive" within Collections
