# Move or Copy a Flow

> Send an IVR flow to another workspace - copy it as a draft or move it as it is - with uploaded audio copied across, who can do it, what blocks a move, and what to check after it arrives.

Open **Flows**, use a flow's menu and pick **Send to workspace...** to put it in another workspace you manage. **Copy** adds a draft there and keeps the original. **Move** takes the flow out of this workspace, published as it is. Uploaded audio the flow plays is copied to the new workspace either way, and call logs always stay where they were. You must be an owner or admin of both workspaces.

## Copy or move?

| | Copy | Move |
|---|---|---|
| Original flow | Stays here | Leaves this workspace |
| In the new workspace | A new **draft**: publish it when it's ready | The same flow, version and published state |
| Blocked by | Nothing | Anything here that still uses the flow (see below) |
| Uploaded audio | Copied | Copied |
| Call logs | Stay here | Stay here |

Use **copy** to reuse a proven flow for another brand, branch or client. Use **move** when a flow was built in the wrong workspace, or when you hand a finished flow over.

## Who can send a flow

You need the owner or admin role in the workspace the flow is in, and in the workspace you send it to. The dialog lists only the workspaces where you have that role.

## What blocks a move

A flow can't move while something in this workspace still uses it: a phone number, a campaign, a voice app, a queue or an order-call automation. The dialog lists each one. Point those at another flow first, or use copy instead.

## Check after it arrives

The dialog lists what the new owner should review, depending on the flow:

- **Transfer numbers:** callers are still transferred to the same phone numbers. Change them if the new workspace should get these calls.
- **HTTP Request steps:** requests are now signed with the new workspace's signing secret. Receivers that verify signatures need that secret. See [HTTP Signing Secret](https://edesy.in/docs/ivr/api/http-signing-secret).
- **Queue steps:** they point at a queue in the original workspace. Pick a queue in the new one.
- **Order Action steps:** they use the new workspace's commerce settings.
- **Email steps:** they now notify the new workspace's owner.

Then connect a number to the flow in the new workspace and [test and publish](https://edesy.in/docs/ivr/getting-started/test-and-publish) it (a copy arrives as a draft).
