what about the stuff that you can't add to a project and requires you to make a project just for that thing. say cars basic pack. how do i then migrate that pack to my project?

UE4.27. Migrate folders isnt working [Edit, now it is]. I select 1 specific sound folder, and it doesnt migrate all the sounds. It's annoying because I cant select all the wavs and cues. I just want to right click on a folder an migrate all of its structure and files.

Edit: now it works. I went back to the donor project, Right clicked the folder > migrate > select checked just that folder again... this time it asked me if I wanted to overwrite files that already exist. I clicked no. So it did work the first time, but didnt show me the new subfolders/files in my new project.

so why did i just migrate a map with my content i want in it but it also brought all the other files with it even the procedural nature which isnt used anywhere in my current project ive never even opened the folder so i know it moved the assed for no reason ?.

This is frustrating. I'm finding a bunch tutorials on migrating between projects but nothing about migrating between scenes. The downloaded content has sample scenes with prebuilt models. I want to just copy the prebuilt models into my scene. I can't access the model via file manager. And I can't copy the model into my content folder. It appears the only way to transfer the model into my scene is I have to migrate the whole freaking scene. Risking screwing my other files up. Its ridiculous something so simple is so hard.

I open a new project and I can't even add something from the marketplace, and right click move the folder the my "3rd party folder" without it crashes everything. This is terrible.

When I right click I do not have an asset actions tap

useful easy but one prob not covered

if i get exmaples say like the pathing from google docs as a project and want to migrate that in it wont show the folders to drop too

I'm having issues with the migrating bring over the entire folder structure of the previous project, so it makes a mess of all of my existing folders, so now materials are in two places, and incorrect naming, e.g. includes the folder structure so how do I cleanly reorder without messing up references? As I did try to clean it up aligning it with my existing folder structure, all of the references, I guess, are messed up and so all of the materials in their existing folders now are grey with nothing attached. How do I fix this?

i think is really frustrating, i can not create my own library but i have always open one file to migrate stuff from.
