Moving Content

Promote personal documents into a Space, or pull Space content back into your own library.

Content rarely starts where it ends up. A draft you wrote in Your Content often becomes something the team should own — and sometimes a Space document is really yours. You can move content either direction.

Promoting personal content into a Space

To move a personal document or folder into a Space:

Open the context menu

In Your Content, open the context menu () on a document or folder.

Move to space

Choose Move to space, pick the destination Space in the dialog, and confirm.

Done

The item leaves Your Content and appears in the Space's explorer within about a second. Opening it still works — it's now scoped to the Space.

When you promote a folder, its entire subtree comes along: every subfolder and document inside it moves into the Space and picks up the Space's scope. The folder itself lands at the Space's root.

You need editor access (or higher) on the destination Space. Without it, the move is refused with a "Requires editor role" message and nothing changes.

Pulling Space content back to personal

To move a document or folder out of a Space and into your own library, open its context menu in the Space and choose Move to my content. It leaves the Space, lands at the root of your personal Your Content, and you become its owner. Folder subtrees move whole, and you become the owner of everything in them.

This action only appears to members with edit access — viewers don't see it.

Moving content changes who can find it. Because the assistant's knowledge search respects access:

  • Promote a document into a Space → everyone with access to that Space can now find it in search.
  • Pull it back to personal → only the new owner can find it again.

The re-index happens automatically after the move; allow a sync cycle for search results to catch up.

Good to know

  • No direct Space-to-Space moves yet. To move a document from one Space to another, pull it back to your content first, then promote it into the other Space.
  • A document can only live in one place. Promoting a document that's already in a Space is rejected — move it to personal first.
  • Folder moves are bounded. Very large folder trees (hundreds of nested folders) may hit a limit; move dense subfolders individually if you run into it.

Moves are reactive — both the source and destination update live, so you don't need to refresh to see the result.
