## [Moving between board tabs](/content/help/docs/organization/moving-docs/
#moving-between-board-tabs/index.html)

**To move a document to a different board tab:**  
Right-click document → "Move to" → Choose destination board tab

**What happens:**

- Document moves to the root level of the destination tab
- Content, formatting, and version history are preserved
- Folder structure is not preserved (reorganize manually in destination)

**Example:** Move a planning document from Planning tab to Manuscript tab

## [Moving folders](/content/help/docs/organization/moving-docs/
#moving-folders/index.html)

Drag and drop folders to move them along with all of their contents. Nested folder structures are preserved.

Folders (and everything inside them) can also be moved to another board tab using the same method as documents. The folder hierarchy will remain intact after moving.

Right-click folder → "Move to" → Choose destination board tab

#moving-between-workspaces/index.html)

Documents cannot be moved between workspaces. To transfer content:

- Export the document from the source workspace
- Import into the destination workspace
