Copying a file from one SharePoint Site to Another

This little feature came in really handy the other day - I wanted a copy of a spreadsheet on my team site that was updated on another teams site.

However, I wanted an updated version on my site when the original version got updated.

I suppose I could have set up some alerts and manually copied the document across however .. .. .. ..

Using SharePoint I can easily copy a file from one library to another using the Send To command.

 

"By using the Send To command, you can copy files from the library in which they were created to another library. When a file is copied in this way, the copy maintains a relationship with its source file, and you can choose to update this copy with any changes that are made to the source file. Additionally, if the copy and its source file share common columns or fields, these columns or fields are also updated when the copy is updated."

 

Which is exactly what I wanted.
