Branch or Copy Workspaces

Learn how to branch or copy your workspace and save yourself some duplicate work.

This feature is available to Organization Admins who have access to more than one Ardoq organization.

How to Copy Workspaces

  1. Open Organization Settings: Click your Organization Name in the top-left corner and select Admin > Organization settings.

  2. Navigate to Overview: Click on the Workspaces overview tab in the top menu bar.

  3. Select Workspaces: Check the box next to the workspace(s) you wish to move. You can select one or multiple workspaces at once.

  4. Initiate Copy: Click the Copy to organization button that appears at the top of the list.

  5. Confirm Destination: Select the target organization from the dropdown menu in the prompt and click to confirm.



A workspace can be copied to do analysis or “versioned” work. To copy a workspace:

  1. Verify you have the Create Workspaces privilege enabled

  2. Next, navigate to the Home page, then Asset Library.

  3. Click on the three-dot menu next to the name of the workspace you wish to duplicate

  4. Select “Copy”

  5. Give your new workspace a name and hit save


You can now open your duplicated workspace. To delete references or components in your new workspace, select one or multiple components from the left-side workspace navigator, right click on them and select Delete components.


Alternatively, select the workspace name in the left-side workspace navigator and open the Grid editor to see all components and references in this workspace. On the Components tab and References, select all components and references you wish to delete, right click on them and select Remove row.

Another option to delete the components would be to open Data Inventory, select all the Components and References, right click on them and delete Component.


Which method should I use?

  • Use "Copy to Org" (Workspaces Tab): For quick, one-off copies of a single workspace to a sandbox or training environment.

  • Use "Bundles": For moving multiple interconnected workspaces or complex data sets that require a more centralized administrative package.
