# What do the ✕ and ✓ marks on Data Parking's move buttons mean?

They show what happens to your original. **✕** (on Move and Merge) means the original is removed once the copy has been checked. **✓** (on Relocate) means the original place is kept working, with links standing in for the files.

The buttons are also colour-coded by what they do and carry an arrow pointing at the destination, so you can see the direction at a glance. They only become active when the panes are paired and the source side has a selection.
