move

Record move or rename of factory setting or group

Since R2019b

Description

example

move(upgrader,source,destination) records the move of a factory setting or settings group within a factory settings tree. You also can use the move function to record the rename of a factory setting or group. Recording changes to the factory settings tree for each toolbox version ensures that users upgrading to a new version of a toolbox do not have backward incompatibility issues with their settings.
