# How do I move an app that's marked Override?

Click **Override → Move** on the app's row. A confirmation sheet explains the specific risk — for example how the app updates, which permissions macOS may ask for again, or which files reference a fixed location. Read it, then confirm to start the move.

If the app needs administrator access, macOS asks for your password. Like every move, it's verified and you can [move it back](https://storagestudio.us/faq/apps/how-do-i-move-an-app-back-to-my-mac) any time.
