9.1.4 Refiling notes

Remember is usually used to quickly capture notes and tasks into one or a few capture lists. When reviewing the captured data, you may want to refile some of the entries into a different list, for example into a project. Cutting, finding the right location and then pasting the note is cumbersome. To simplify this process, you can use the following special command:

C-c C-w
Refile the entry or region at point. This command offers possible locations for refiling the entry and lets you select one with completion. The item (or all items in the region) is filed below the target heading as a subitem. Depending on org-reverse-note-order, it will be either the first or last subitem.
By default, all level 1 headlines in the current buffer are considered to be targets, but you can have more complex definitions across a number of files. See the variable org-refile-targets for details. If you would like to select a location via a file-path-like completion along the outline path, see the variables org-refile-use-outline-path and org-outline-path-complete-in-steps.
C-u C-c C-w
Use the refile interface to jump to a heading.
C-u C-u C-c C-w
Jump to the location where org-refile last moved a tree to.
