The best time to associate files with a feature is when you first add those files to your setup project. After
a file has been added, the only way to change the feature with which it is associated is through the Files
and Features view.
Task To change the feature with which a file is associated:
1. Click the feature that currently contains the file to display a list of all the files associated with that
feature.
2. Select the file you want to move and drag it onto its new feature.
Note: You can also cut and paste files—both in large groups or individually—rather than using the drag-and-drop method.
