### 9.2 Refile and Copy

When reviewing the captured data, you may want to refile or to copy some of the entries into a different list, for example into a project. Cutting, finding the right location, and then pasting the note is cumbersome. To simplify this process, you can use the following special command:

`C-c C-w`

  Refile the entry or region at point. This command offers possible locations for refiling the entry and lets you select one with completion. The item (or all items in the region) is filed below the target heading as a subitem.

  By default, all level 1 headlines in the current buffer are considered to be targets, but you can have more complex definitions across a number of files. See the variable `org-refile-targets` for details.

`C-u C-c C-w`

  Use the refile interface to jump to a heading.

`C-u C-u C-c C-w`

  Jump to the location where `org-refile` last moved a tree to.

`C-c M-w`

  Copying works like refiling, except that the original note is not deleted.
