You can add files to an existing archive you've opened or to a new archive you've created, as in the previous section. If the Add dialog box is not displayed, select Add from the Actions pull-down menu or click the Add toolbar button.

In the Add dialog box, select the files you want to add to the archive. The easiest way to do this is usually to click on the desired files in the list near the top of the Add dialog box. You can select multiple files using normal Windows file selection conventions (for example, hold down the shift key while clicking to select multiple files). For details on alternate ways to specify which files you want to add, see the topic titled Adding Files to an Archive.

Once you are done making your file selection, click the Add button to add the files. Once WinZip finishes, it will update the file list in the main window to reflect the new files in the archive.

You can also add files to an archive by dragging the files from My Computer or Windows Explorer and dropping them on the WinZip window using the drag and drop interface.

 

Note: When you add files to an archive, the original files on disk are not deleted. If you want to delete the original files automatically after the Add operation completes, select Move (and replace) files from the Action combo box.
