How to Move Projects Between Workspaces
Overview
This guide explains how to move a project from one workspace to another in Assist. This is particularly useful when you've been working on demo or pitch projects and need to transfer them into a client's workspace after they sign.
When to Use This Feature
Common Use Case:
You've created a demo project to showcase Assist's capabilities to a potential client. Once they sign and become an active client, you can seamlessly move that demo project directly into their dedicated workspace - keeping all the work intact and organized in the right place.
Benefits:
• Keep projects organized by client or team
• Maintain project history and content when transferring ownership
• Streamline workflow from demo to active client work
• No need to recreate or duplicate projects manually
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Locate Your Project
Navigate to your Assist dashboard where you can see all your projects. Find the project you want to move to a different workspace.
Step 2: Access the Project Menu
On the project card, click the three-dot menu icon (⋮) located on the project card. This will open a dropdown menu with various project options.
Step 3: Select Move to Workspace
From the dropdown menu, click on "Move". This will open a modal dialog showing all available workspaces.
Step 4: Choose Your Destination Workspace
In the modal that appears:
- Review the list of available workspaces
- Scroll through the options if you have multiple workspaces
- Click on the workspace where you want to move the project (e.g., "ABC Corp - Client Workspace")
- The selected workspace will be highlighted
Step 5: Confirm the Move
Click the "Move Project" button to complete the action. You'll see:
• A brief loading indicator
• A success message: "Project moved successfully"
• The dashboard will refresh showing the project in its new workspace location
Important Notes
What Happens When You Move a Project
• The entire project, including all content and history, moves to the new workspace
• The project is removed from the original workspace
• All project data remains intact
• Team members with access to the destination workspace will be able to see the project
Permissions
• You need appropriate permissions to move projects between workspaces
• You can only move projects to workspaces where you have access
• Check with your workspace administrator if you don't see the expected workspace options
Best Practices
• Organize as you go: Move projects to client workspaces as soon as they sign to keep your demo workspace clean
• Communicate with your team: Let team members know when you're moving shared projects
• Double-check the destination: Make sure you're selecting the correct workspace before confirming
• Use clear naming: Keep project names clear so they're easy to identify in any workspace
Troubleshooting
I don't see the "Move to Workspace" option
• Verify you have the necessary permissions for the project
• Check that you have access to at least one other workspace
• Contact your workspace administrator if the issue persists
The workspace I need isn't in the list
• Confirm you have been granted access to that workspace
• Ask the workspace owner to add you as a member
• Refresh your browser and try again
The move didn't complete
• Check your internet connection
• Try the process again
• If the issue continues, contact Assist support
