The wizard can reestablish local shortcuts to shared folders if you have a current copy of the shared folders in the target repository. Therefore, you can keep shortcuts intact by copying the necessary local shared folders to the target repository before copying the folder.

If you do not copy the shared folders before copying the folder, the wizard deletes all shortcuts and marks all affected mappings invalid.

If shared folders exist in the target repository, the wizard verifies that the copy is current. In typical mode, if you edit the original shared folder after you copy it to the target repository, the wizard asks you to copy it again. In the advanced mode, you can compare the folders to see which folder is most recent. The wizard does not establish shortcuts to an outdated shared folder. Therefore, to copy shortcuts correctly, you must copy shared folders before copying the folder.

If you copy the folder from the global repository to a local repository in the same domain, local shortcuts become global shortcuts.

For example, you copy a shared folder and a non-shared folder with shortcuts from a global repository to a local repository. First copy the shared folder into the local repository. Then copy the non-shared folder. If you copy the folder in typical mode, you establish global shortcuts to the shared folder in the global repository. If you copy the folder in advanced mode, you can also choose to establish local shortcuts to the shared folder in the local repository.
