I have a board on a "Migrated Personal Workspace 3" that I would like to move to my normal private Workspace. How can I do that?
I tried to use the "Change Workspace" but nothing happened.
Please help. Thank you!
Hi Jens
Thank you for reaching out to the community.
If the "Change Workspace" option isn’t working, there are a few alternative ways to move your board to your normal private Workspace.
Try these steps:
Method 1: Use "Change Workspace" Again (Ensure Permissions)
If this doesn't work:
Method 2: Manually Copy the Board to Your Private Workspace
If the direct move isn’t working, you can create a copy of the board in your preferred Workspace:
⚠️ You will lose card comments and activity history.
Workaround to Preserve Comments:
If keeping comments is crucial, consider moving lists instead (Method 3) instead of copying the board. When you move lists/cards to a new board, all comments and activity history remain intact.
Let me know if you need help figuring out the best approach for your situation! 🚀
Method 3: Move Lists to a New Board in Your Private Workspace
If copying the entire board isn’t ideal, you can move individual lists to a new board:

Thanks @Alberto Estévez for your reply
I tested all your three alternatives:
1, Got an error message "There was an error while moving the board. Please try again" and the board is not moved
2. The "Copy board" alternative is not visible for that workspace (but for my personal workspace)
3. The only board available in the list to move to is the board the list is already on
I will contact Trello Support. Thanks again for the help!

I see. Have you checked if your user has admin privileges on the workspace the board is living that you would like to move?
Cheers!

Hey thanks!
I got an answer from the Trello support:
--------------------------------------------------------
Alberto's steps are correct and excellent for moving boards between workspaces. However, you can't move this board to a different workspace because you are a guest on the board, and it belongs to a Trello Enterprise. Once a board is part of an Enterprise Workspace, it can't be moved outside the Enterprise manually. This is due to an Enterprise feature called Enterprise data restrictions.
These restrictions were mainly designed to ensure that all Enterprise data is kept within the Enterprise and will not be left or moved outside of it. Unfortunately, these data restrictions for Enterprise customers can't be turned off or modified.
You can try some alternatives. You can request an Enterprise admin from the owner of the board you mentioned, to contact us. They can ask us to release the board and grant you control over it. Once they reach out to us, we will proceed with the next steps.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns about this information, Jens. I'll be more than happy to help!

I solved it myself by exporting the board to json and used a json import power-up to import it to a new personal board. I lost attachements and labels - but that will have to be ok.
Thanks!
