Moving boards between workspaces
Boards can be moved between workspaces inside the same organisation — useful when a project graduates from "experiment" to its own dedicated workspace, when you're tidying up after a merger, or when a board ended up in the wrong place.
Move a board
From the dashboard, find the board you want to move. Click the ⋯ menu on the board card → Move to workspace…. Pick the destination workspace from the list.
The move is instant. The board's content (shapes, comments, history, attachments) is unchanged; only its workspace association changes.
Who can move a board
- Board Owners can move boards they own.
- Workspace Admins and Owners can move boards in their workspace.
- Org Admins can move any board anywhere.
The destination workspace must exist already; Org Admin → Workspaces → New workspace is the place to create one first.
What happens to members
- Board members from your organisation keep their access. Their board role (Editor / Viewer / etc.) is unchanged.
- Their effective permissions are re-resolved against the new workspace's membership. Someone who was a workspace Viewer in the old place might be a workspace Editor in the new place — their default permissions on this board will follow the new workspace.
- Org Admins still have full access; that's organisation-wide and doesn't change.
What happens to guests
External guests keep their access to the board after the move. Guest invitations are board-scoped, not workspace-scoped — moving the board doesn't change anything for them.
What changes for everyone
After the move:
- The board no longer appears in the source workspace's board list.
- It appears in the destination workspace's board list immediately.
- Anyone with a direct link to the board still reaches it — links are board-id-based and survive moves.
TIP
If you're consolidating two workspaces into one, the simplest pattern is: move all boards into the destination, then archive the now-empty source workspace.
Undoing a move
If you moved a board to the wrong place, repeat the move — there's no special "undo" because each move is independent. Anyone who lost access because of the move regains it as soon as the board lands back in a workspace they belong to.
