	Moving a graph is easy - duplicate it and delete the old one. The more interesting question is how you want to treat its contents, and what to do with places that referred to the graph and/or contents. There's an in-depth explanation in the manual on the Replace Tool, but here are the common cases. To duplicate a graph, in Graph Browser, change the Default Project at the bottom left to the desired new project, select the graph, and choose Duplicate / Replace Graph from its pop-up menu. With the default setting of Copy to Depth 1, that will create a new Graph in the desired project with the same contents. If you want references to the old graph to be changed to point to the new one, also add a container of those references (e.g. a top-level graph) to the In list. If you want the contents of the graph (objects etc.) to also be moved to the new project, increase the Depth. If you want references from elsewhere to the old content elements to also be changed to point to the new elements, turn on Replace copied subelements. When you're done, you can delete the old graph (assuming you wanted a move rather than a copy).
