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.
