Overview

You can use the old space to create a new, similar one without having to recreate all the cards and settings from scratch. Reuse your own work.

A copied space will have the same structure as the original space, according to the following rules:

Copying spaces

You must be both workspace owner and space owner to duplicate spaces.

To copy a space:

  1. Open KanBo.
  2. On the Sidebar, go to Workspaces & Spaces, and then select the desired space.
  3. On the space top bar, go to More (the three-dots), and then select  Copy space.
  4. Enter the space name, start date, and due dates (optional) and go Next.
  5. Select the space color and avatar, then go Next.
  6. Choose if you want to connect your space with Microsoft Teams*, and then select Next.

If you want to merge the space with an existing MS Teams channel, choose the third option and find the existing channel by its name. The new space will have the same type, users, and document source as the channel.

This decision affects the space types you can create in the next step.

  1. Select the space type, and then go Next.
  2. Choose the space template (default or custom), then select Next.
  3. Confirm the space review with the Create space button.

Another way to create a new space based on the existing space is the space template. Use your proven space as a pattern for new ones.
