Is it possible to move an existing app to a space?

Article Number:040208

Using the "Change Space Where App Belongs To" feature, you can move an existing app that does not belong to any space to a space. You can also move an app that already belongs to a space to a different space. However, you cannot move an app from or to a guest space. For details on the feature, refer to Changing Which Space an App Belongs to.

If the "Change Space Where App Belongs To" feature is not available, consider duplicating an existing app and re-creating it in the location of your choice.
Creating a New App by Duplicating an Existing App (Copying an App)

The following are points to keep in mind when duplicating an app.

  • If you create a new app by duplicating an existing app, record data of the existing app will not be migrated to the new app. To migrate the record data to the new app, you need to export the data to a CSV file and then import that file into the new app.
    For details, refer to the following pages:
    Exporting Data to a File
    Importing Record Data from a File into an App

  • In a guest space, only apps that belong to the same guest space can be duplicated. If you want to copy an app that does not belong to a guest space to the guest space or if you want to copy an app that belongs to a guest space to a space other than the guest space, create a template of the source app and create an app from that template.
    For details on app templates, refer to What Are App Templates?

  • Some data cannot be imported/exported using CSV files. Also, there are some settings that are not included in app templates.
