Moving boards between teams
⚠️ When you move a board to another team, its version history will be lost. If you would like to keep the version history, we recommend copying the board content instead.
To move a board between teams, you must:
- own the board
- be a member of both teams
There are two ways to move a board to a different team: from the dashboard, or directly within a board.
How to move a board directly within the board
- Open your board and click the Main menu hamburger icon directly to the right of your board name (top-left corner)
- Navigate to Board > Move to > Other team
How to move a board using the dashboard
- Go to your dashboard to see all boards in a team
- Hover over the card of the board you want to move
- Click the three dots
- Choose Move to team
- A pop-up will open. Select a new team from the dropdown. The list will include all the teams you have access to

User denied access
If any board collaborators are not part of the team where the board is moving, you’ll see a denied access message.
There are two ways to see which user emails will lose access to the board after you move it. If the number of users is less than 10, you can see the email list by clicking View users emails in the Denied access message. If the number is greater than 10, there will be a link to download the email list.
To make sure that all collaborators maintain access to the board, you can invite members to the new team before moving the board.
You can also choose Move anyway and add collaborators to the board again after it's moved.

If you move a board to a free team, it will be shared with all team members.
Private boards are not available in free teams
