Moving SharePoint documents with versions

In our workflow, we need to move a document to a different document library at the conclusion of the workflow depending on whether the document was approved or rejected.

 

Versioning is turned on in the source document library. Does anyone know if you can move a document (with all of its versions) to another document library and keep the versions?

 

Thanks

From what I read here (http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/1278/how-can-you-move-a-document-with-its-version-history-to-a-new-library) it seems that it is going to require versioning be turn on both libraries and if the operatin K2 performs is a true more or just a copy with delete. What I gathered from the thread is that this is a bigger issue than just K2. If there is indeed a move on the API then this could work, but there was mention of third party tools and use of Explorer view so it may not work via Sharepoint Managed API thathe K2 broker uses.  The first step is to ensure versioning is turned on your both source and destination libraries and give it a go.
