I might have missed this feature but for now I always have to use os files management tools (explorer on windows or files station on synology)when I want to move a title that has been wrongly categorized to across libraries.  
I would be nice if, associated to a title, in the ‘more’ drop down list (eg next to the ‘delete’ choice) we could have a ‘move’ choice that would allow us to move the title in focus to another library. (as an example to move a movie from children to parents libraries).

Thanks

A request for the same feature exists, and it has now gathered more votes.

> Yes, there is a [How To](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701) and even a [Support Article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154537-move-media-content-to-a-new-location/) but both don’t always work (especially keeping edited metadata) - or require many manual steps. Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change!

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
