Trial to Pro : Questions

Hello - Trial user here. I am considering upgrading to Pro to allow my team access to Projects and workflows I may have already started building. (1) I’ve created a single workflow in my Personal space but I don’t see any way to move that to a new Project I created. Is that only possible after upgrading? (2) Talk to me about how Projects work. I see I can create folders in a Project to organize workflows, so with a limitation of 3 Projects at Pro, am I trying to gauge how those would be used. For example: If I want to invite my devs to a single Project, can I have folders underneath that organizing the work and have multiple workflows in each of those folders? One folder might be called “AI Agents” and have 10 workflows. Another folder may be called Misc and contain 12 random workflows. Possible??

Describe the problem/error/question

What is the error message (if any)?

Please share your workflow

(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

Hey @robgar hope all is well. Welcome to the community.

Re: moving the workflow to another project.

Here is a topic you may want to read.

Also, I’ve just seen this earlier today too, check it out:

And yes, you understanding is correct. Within a single Project in n8n, you can create multiple folders to organize your workflows as you described. For example, you could have a folder named “AI Agents” containing 10 workflows, and another folder called “Misc” with 12 workflows. Folders (including nested folders) are available for all registered users and are designed to help you categorize and manage workflows more effectively within a project. This means you can invite your developers to collaborate within a single Project and use folders to keep things organized as needed, without needing to create a separate Project for each category of workflows. The limitation of 3 Projects on the Pro plan refers to the number of top-level Projects, not folders within them, so you can have as many folders and workflows as you need inside each Project.

Thank you! Just so I’m clear .. am I able to transfer a workflow currently in Personal to a Project, but cannot in trial?

Based on my understanding, the ability to transfer workflow from project to project should be available to all plans with RBAC functionality, which is any plan except community edition.
