Transfer projects across workspaces

Projects can be exported from one workspace and re-imported to another. They can be bulk exported if you need to move multiple projects to another workspace, or individually if you only need to move one.

Workspace admins can export entire projects as a single .zip file containing each exported project and its data as a series of JSON files. JSONL is a file type where each line in the file is a JSON object, and each JSONL file represents an object type in Dovetail (e.g., data, insights, highlights, etc.).

• To bulk export multiple projects at a time, navigate to the Browse tab and select the projects or folders that you wish to export. Once selected, click on More options (•••) → Export from the bulk action menu at the bottom of the page.

• To export a single project, use the same steps as above, selecting only one project, or navigate to the project's settings → Export → Export entire project → Download.

Once the export has been prepared, click the Download button on the prompt to download the .zip file to your device.

Managers and Contributors can import Dovetail projects at any time.

• To do this, navigate to Browse → New → Upload → Import an existing project.

Select the .zip file that was exported previously and your import will begin!
