Copy documents between libraries by preserving their metadata – SharePoint 2010

Copying documents as well as list items across list’s and libraries is very easy but preserving metadata is the main concern.

No need to worry about anything as this blog will provide you the answer for the same.

There are two options are available to achieve this functionality:

1)   Content and Structure

2)   Export and Import

I have already written articles for the same and this process will preserve the metadata.

Here is the link for the content and structure: http://sharepointknowledgebase.blogspot.in/2013/09/copymove-document-between-web.html

Here are the links for the Export and Import:
