Moving workflow to different project: Does the new Folders functionality replace projects?

[HenryPuppet]

Describe the problem/error/question

The Move command (in Workflows view) has been replaced by “Move to Folder”.

How can I move a workflow to a different Project (or have Projects been deprecated?)?

What is the error message (if any)?

No error

Please share your workflow

Not needed.

(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Share the output returned by the last node

Not needed.

Hello,

From my understanding, the new Folders functionality does not replace project organization. Instead, it adds an extra layer to help sort workflows within a project.

If you want to move a workflow to a different project, you can do so by selecting “Change owner”, then choosing the project where you want to move the workflow.

I hope this answers your question.

Ah, Thank you.

Is there a way to move the workflow out from a folder back to the main area? Seems that once it is moved to a folder, you can move it to another folder but not the main area… [Default].

Hello,

To move your workflow in the main area of your project, start by selecting it and then click on ‘Move to folder.’ In the search box, type the name of your project, and you should see an option labeled ‘YourProjectName (Project root).’ Select that, and your workflow will appear in the main area of your project.

I hope this answers your question

When I click into the dropdownlist, there’s nothing there to choose…
