What it does

Written by AI from the README

Adds a Move to Collection submenu to the item right-click menu that shows your collection tree and up to five recent targets. It adds the items to the destination and removes them only from the collection you are viewing. For Zotero 10.

Zotero's drag and drop only adds items to another collection, so moving takes an extra removal step. This does it in one click and keeps other memberships.
