# Move a screen to another workspace


> Transfer a screen between workspaces, what comes with it, and the two things that catch people out.
From the screen's **Actions** tab, choose **Transfer**, pick the destination workspace, and confirm.

## What you need

Owner or Admin in **both** workspaces. The destination list only shows workspaces where you have one of those roles, so a workspace you cannot see in the list is one you do not have rights in.

You also need a spare license in the destination.

## What comes with it

Settings come across. **Playlist assignments do not.**

That is the thing worth planning for. A transferred screen arrives configured but with nothing to play, so line up its playlists in the destination workspace before you move it rather than after.

> [!NOTE]
> The screen also arrives **disabled**. Open it in the new workspace, enable it, and it starts playing.

## Why you would

Workspaces are isolated: content and screens in one are invisible from another. Moving a screen is how you hand a display to a different team, or split a growing fleet into regions.

If you find yourself transferring screens back and forth often, that is usually a sign the workspaces should be [linked](/docs/workspaces/linked-workspaces/what-they-are/) or that a [shared playlist](/docs/workspaces/reference/sharing-between-workspaces/) would solve the actual problem.
