Transferring Projects
Projects can be transferred from one Organisation into a different Organisation (within the same data region).
All data inside a transferred Project is preserved. Transferring a Project impacts the Project URL, leaving any prior URLs to Published Versions and Shared Plans invalid.
If the users on the Project do not already exist as a User inside the Destination Org, they will be automatically invited as Standard Organisation Users.
In order to start a Project transfer, the user initiating must be an Organisation Admin in both Organisations.
Archiving Projects
If a project is Archived, it is no longer accessible to any users and will not appear in the Project list. Archived Projects can be restored at any time.
Archived Projects can be permanently deleted. All project data will be deleted without any possibility of being restored.
