When you copy a folder from a local repository to another repository, the wizard verifies that a folder of the same name exists in the target repository. If it does not exist, the wizard uses the folder name for the copied folder. If it does exist, the wizard asks you to rename the folder.

If you want to copy the folder again, you might want to rename the existing folder in the target repository, using a naming convention that clearly defines the existing folder. If you have edited objects in any local shared folders used by the folder, you must copy those shared folders into the target repository before copying the folder. You might want to rename existing shared folders before performing the copy.
