Collect Related Files

Copy all files which are associated with the requirements to a specified directory. This feature is useful when you move the project file or you want to collect all the information pertaining to the requirements. If the requirements have related URLs, RaQuest also generates Windows URL shortcut files. In a future version, you will be able to update the file path of all requirements when the project file is moved to another location.
