How To Import Personal Projects Into A Workspace

The import flow lets you copy personal projects into a Business workspace without deleting the original personal version. It is the cleanest way to move private work into a shared team environment.

Where to find the import flow

The import option lives on the workspace projects page. When your workspace role can edit projects, you will see an Import Personal Projects action. That opens the import page where you can choose from your own personal projects.

If you do not see the option, check whether the workspace is active, whether the seat limit is okay, and whether your role is allowed to create projects in that workspace.

What to select

The import page shows the personal projects available to you. You can select one or more projects to copy into the workspace. The page also shows how many versions each project has, which helps you judge how much history you are about to bring across.

Select the projects that genuinely belong in the shared workspace. If a personal project is still only for private testing, you may want to leave it where it is until the team actually needs it.

What gets copied

The import copies the project into the workspace as an organisation-owned project. It brings across the project structure, versions, scenarios, appliances, and input data so the workspace can continue from the same general setup.

It does not copy stored results or warnings. That is deliberate. Workspace copies need to be recalculated in the workspace so the shared version has its own fresh result set.

If the workspace already has a project with the same name, GridGap resolves the imported copy to a unique name rather than overwriting an existing workspace project.

Why recalculation matters

Imported projects arrive without saved results or warnings. That means the copied workspace version is ready to work with, but it still needs Calculate to generate the workspace's own stored results.

This is important because the workspace should not be relying on the old personal result cache. Recalculating inside the workspace gives the team a fresh result set that belongs to the shared context.

What to do after import

After import, open the workspace projects list, review the imported project name, then open each project and recalculate the versions you want to use. If you are moving from personal to team work, keep the personal original as a private record and use the workspace copy for shared decisions.

Good practice

Import only the projects the team actually needs. It is usually easier to bring a small set of clearly named projects into the workspace than to flood it with every personal experiment.
