How to move content in and out of Packs

If you're looking to organize your existing content into Packs, we've got some good news. It's a very straightforward process to move content from Your Library to a Pack (or vice versa), and even between existing Packs.

Flash guide  

  1. Sign in to Plickers on your laptop/computer at plickers.com
  2. Locate your content in Your Library
  3. Click and hold your mouse on the title of your content item
  4. Drag your item over to the Pack name in your left-hand sidebar

 

 

There are three routes you can take for this task. Click on the relevant toggle box below for more detailed information about each one.

We'll be referring to Content Items in the steps below; a content item is either a Set or a Standalone Question.

  Note

A single content item cannot exist in two different locations, so please bear in mind that the steps below involve moving an item, and not copying it over. This means if you move content from Your Library to a Pack and then delete or lose access to that Pack, then the content will be lost.

  • We find this to be the quickest way to move content in and out of a Pack.

    1. Sign in to plickers.com on your laptop/computer

      You'll arrive at Your Library (aka the Plickers homepage).

    2. Ensure your Pack name is showing in the left-hand sidebar

      If you can't see a Pack there, you'll need to create a new one. This link will tell you how.

    3. Locate the content item you'd like to move

      You can find the item within Your Library, Recent, or another Pack (all accessible via the left-hand sidebar).

        Tip

      For a quick way to find your item, type its name in the Filter bar, which is located at the top of the Your Library and Recent pages (underneath the page heading).

    4. Click and hold your mouse on the title of your content item

      This will allow you to drag the item across the page.

    5. Drag-and-drop the item into your Pack

      Drag your item over to the left-hand sidebar and hover it over the name of your Pack. Let go of your mouse to drop the item into the Pack.

      Click on your Pack name to check that the item has been successfully added.

  • This method makes use of a dialog box, from which you can select the Pack you want to use.

Move multiple content items at once

There are a couple of ways to select multiple items at once. You can then move all the items together, using one of the three methods described above.

  • This will select the first item you click, the next item you click, and everything in between, as shown in the gif below:

    You can then use any of the methods in the main section above to move your content items.

  • This will select every content item you click individually, so giving you a little more flexibility if the items you need aren't listed together. The gif below illustrates this:

    You can then use any of the methods in the main section above to move your content items.

  Tip

In some instances you might be able to save time by using a combination of holding shift and ctrl/cmd when selecting multiple content items.
