# Move object

:::danger

If you paste an object from the clipboard, it will replace the object in the bucket without warning.

:::

:::info

If [Bucket Policy](/s3/buckets/bucket-policy/) exists:

* in the bucket from which you need to move the object — it must allow reading and deleting the object;
* in the bucket to which you need to move the object — it must allow adding the object to the bucket.

More details in the [Actions](/s3/buckets/bucket-policy/about-bucket-policy.mdx#actions) section of the [General information about access policies](/s3/buckets/bucket-policy/about-bucket-policy.mdx) instructions.

:::

You can move an object to a different bucket or to a different folder in the current bucket.

If the bucket uses [Object Lock](/s3/buckets/object-lock.mdx) and the moved object is locked, the object will be copied to the new bucket but will not be deleted from the source. Moving objects in buckets with Object Lock is disabled in the Control Panel, but is available via the [Object Storage API](/api/object-storage/).

1. In the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/storage/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **S3**.
2. Go to the **Buckets** section.
3. Open the bucket page → **Objects** tab.
4. Select the object.
5. Click **Move**.
6. Open the page of the required bucket or the destination folder in the current bucket where you want to move the object.
7. Click **Paste into current folder**.
