Local cases need to be stored in network folders to ensure that other users can access them in TextMap. When you move a case to another network directory location, you may risk losing links from the case to attached files/documents. The case file and case documents, exhibits, and videos are often stored in separate folders.

If you are planning to move a case file to another network folder, you need to change the file paths to all linked documents, exhibits, and videos. You do not need to change the file path if you imported an .xmef file where the path is using the %CASE_EXHIBITS_PATH%, and the user copies the entire exhibits folder.

To ensure case integrity when moving local case file folders, use the Change Paths Wizard accessible by clicking Case Tools > Linked Exhibits > Change Paths. See Changing exhibit file paths and Changing video file paths. For SQL cases, see Changing the case exhibits path.
