# Move an image

Dragging a library image onto another folder moves it. Dragging a non-library item (attachment or stock photo) imports a copy instead.

## Worth knowing

* In Table layout, almost every Style field silently does nothing. Corner radius, Gap, Shadow, Border and Thumbnail Height are applied only to the Grid renderer; table rows use a fixed 56 px preview and fixed styling. Only Image fit carries over. The Columns control is the only one that is honest about it. It disappears when you choose Table.
* Image folder galleries do not publish. On a Capable Site the macro is replaced by a note reading 'Image folder galleries are not available on published sites.' Use Image reference macros for anything that has to appear on a published site.
* Image reference sizing is not carried to published sites. The exporter reproduces alignment, caption, corner radius, shadow and border, but ignores Width, Height and Aspect Ratio. The published image falls back to the site's own image styling.
* A referenced image that has neither a stored full-resolution attachment nor a thumbnail cannot be published or exported: the page gets an explanatory note instead of the picture.
* An Image reference macro pointing at another Capable app's library will not export on a published site. The exporter reads library images with the publishing app's own credentials, so a reference left behind by a different app id resolves to nothing and the page shows 'This image could not be exported (content not found or no longer available).'.
* The Image folder gallery produces nothing in a Confluence PDF or Word export.
