Duplicating Spaces
This post is also available in: Deutsch
Space is the new name for the board.
Coming soon with the KanBo 3.0 version!
In this article:
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:
- features that will be copied:
- cards
- documents (optional)
- archived cards
- labels
- card statuses
- card lists
- card relations (card relations between spaces will not be copied)
- features that will not be copied:
Copying spaces
You must be both workspace owner and space owner to duplicate spaces.
To copy a space:
- Open KanBo.
- On the Sidebar, go to Workspaces & Spaces, and then select the desired space.
- On the space top bar, go to More (the three-dots), and then select Copy space.
- The next steps are the same as for creating spaces.
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.
FAQ
Can I select the parts of the old space to include or exclude during the duplication process?
Yes, during space duplication you can decide if you want to copy, attach, or don’t include space documents at all. You can also change the name and background color during the duplication process.
What happens to the ownership of the cards in the duplicated space?
Space owners, members, and visitors will not be copied.
Can I copy an old space to create a new one?
Yes, you can copy a space or make a space template using an existing space.
Can I restart the space periodically for e.g. monthly or yearly projects?
We recommend creating a space template, using it to make new spaces periodically, and closing the old ones (closed spaces can be restored).
