How can I export or copy a project and then import it to a new workspace?

Thanks

Hi @Kevin_Schmidt!

There isn’t a way to do this within Asana at this point but you can use this third party tool:

[https://asana.kothar.net/](https://asana.kothar.net/)

It allows you to sign in with Asana and then choose with project to move and which workspace to move it to.

You can also move multiple projects at a time.

It makes a copy so the project remains in the original workspace.

Does that help?

Also, there are quite a few other threads about [https://asana.kothar.net](https://asana.kothar.net). If you search the url within the community - there is discussion about data security and other users experience with the tool that might be helpful.

Thank you @Amy_Mitchell!

Question, do you think its possible to use [https://asana.kothar.net/](https://asana.kothar.net/) to export a project and then import into a group? We are a small consultancy and have an old account with 15 workgroups (1 for each client project).

I want to re-structure to an organization (paid account) and re-create these workspaces as groups. And withing each groups I would have the projects.

I am hoping that kothar will help me avoid having to manually recreate these projects and associated tasks one-by one.

Gracias.

Hi @Pablo_Bressan! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you!

When you say groups, do you mean Teams?

If that’s the case - yes, I do think that it would be helpful. It allows you to choose which project(s) you want to go to a particular team.

It makes a copy of the project in the team you choose (after choosing the organization).

Does that make sense?

Perfect! Maybe try doing one project to start, just so you can see how it copies. 🙂
