New scans be default go into imports. How do I get them from there into my databases?

So, when I scan, the default destination says “Imports”. My question is how do I get those scanned documents into my databases?

Yes, I already know how to choose a group destination in one of my databases, but I have often forgotten to set my destination until I’ve already done the scan. It would be handy to be able to move the already scanned documents into a group of one of my databases.

How do I do it?

Well, this definitely worked. But how obscure!

One of the truly great things about DEVONthink is just how feature rich it is. One of the worst things about DEVONthink is how feature rich it is! I find the documentation is so information dense that I almost cannot find anything I’m looking for in the documentation!

Is there any way to drag and drop from Imports to my database groups?

Thanks so much for your help!

You’re welcome.

No. You need to save the imports or binders.

We’re aware of this issue, an upcoming release will feature a new, integrated help viewer with better navigation, better search and more.
