:I will try to simplify the examples to clarify How to use Drag-Drop in Sugar--[[User:Satellit|Satellit]] 22:22, 19 January 2012 (EST)


*A Booted Trisquel 5.0-sugar CD was used for these examples
How to copy from the [[Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/The_Journal|Sugar Journal]] to a  USB drive.
::Note these screen-shots were Drag-Dropped to a 2nd USB-stick
::Copied from the USB to another Computer and uploaded to the Sugarlabs.wiki
::Where it was inserted into this page
===Export items from the sugar Journal===
*import and export items from the sugar [[Human_Interface_Guidelines/The_Laptop_Experience/The_Journal|'''journal''']]  Using this procedure :
*You need a 2nd USB-stick inserted in a USB slot before you begin.
:'''USB-stick is required to be inserted for this to work.'''
*Click on the journal icon under the XO Avitar centered in the f3 (Home) screen.
[[File:Example.jpg]]
*move the mouse cursor to the center of the screen.
*In the left bottom of the sugar screen will be 2 USB icons
:Journal
:2nd USB
[[File:Example.jpg]]
*click on a file in the journal listing that pops up when you click on the journal icon in the left bottom corner;
:and hold down the mouse as you drag the entry to the 2nd USB Icon next to it on the bottom left corner.
*release the mouse button when you are over the 2nd USB Icon and a + will appear.

===Import to Sugar Journal===
:is done just the opposite way:
*click on a file (picture or .xo file) on the 2nd USB that pops up when you click on it's icon in the left bottom corner.
*drag it with the mouse to the journal icon in the bottom left corner. A + will appear as it is added to the journal.
