Summary
The Content Cart dialog allows you to copy contents from a source server to a managed content server. This is control-central for defining what is to be acquired from the source server and transferred into the nominated target server – a trusty removal van that 'carts' your nominated data between established server residences.
Access
The dialog is accessed by right-clicking on an Item in the Explorer panel from the source server then selecting Add to Content Cart from the right-click menu.
