What should I consider before moving a base from one workspace to another?

NOTE
Moving bases from one workspace to another can change which collaborators have access and the permission levels of users with access.

Moving bases between workspaces impacts:

Workspace collaborators from the original workspace, who have also been added to the new workspace, can access the moved base at their permission level.
Workspace collaborators from the original workspace who are not members of the new workspace will lose base access.
Base collaborators with access to the base moved from one workspace to another but are not workspace collaborators retain access to the moved base at their same permission level.
Base collaborators who originally had access to the base moved from one workspace to another—who also have access to the new workspace as workspace collaborators—are no longer base collaborators and are updated to workspace collaborators at their specified permission level.

To move a base from one workspace to another workspace:

Open your Airtable homepage.
Locate the base you want to move to a new workspace.
Click the ... icon to the right of your base’s name.
Click Move base.
Click the ˅ under the “Choose workspace” section, then select your preferred workspace.
Click Move base.
1. A new page opens, confirming your base’s new workspace.

NOTE
We recommend contacting workspace owners to have them help move bases to your preferred workspace(s) .

Workspace sharing permissions overview

Owners can move bases between workspaces if they are owners of both workspaces.
Creators can move bases between workspaces, if there are no workspace restrictions enabled.
- For workspaces that do have sharing restrictions, creators can move bases between workspaces only if:
  - Restrict adding new collaborators is disabled for Team, Business, and Enterprise Scale workspaces.
  - Prevent creation of new share links is disabled for Business and Enterprise Scale workspaces.
If the “Prevent creation of new share links” setting is enabled, and any views in the base have a share link, creators can’t move the base to the destination workspace on Enterprise Scale workspaces.
