**I Can’t drag/move a Smart Folder to a different Space.**

I have a heavily-developed Smart Folder with many complex views, and now I am rearranging the Workspace, and the Smart Folder must exist in a different Space.

That is a huge amount of wasted time if I have to re-create all those views from scratch. 😢 And then fear that it will happen again.

I would also really like to be able to **duplicate a Smart Folder** (and also move it somewhere else).

Smart folders are indeed configured ‘per Space’ for technical reasons, which does currently mean that they can’t be drag’n’dropped between spaces.  
If you recreate a smart folder in the same space (with the same levels) then the context views will be the same, so actually, duplication within the same space, is not too painful, but I imagine it’s not helpful to duplicate if you can’t then relocate :-/

Can I merge with this:

> [@Cannot move Smart Folder to a different Space](https://community.fibery.io/t/cannot-move-smart-folder-to-a-different-space/3967):
>
> In the Left Menu I cannot drag a Smart Folder to a different Space. I need to do this for Permissions reasons. You might think it should be easy to just re-create a Smart Folder elsewhere, but this one has many complex views within it, and those would all have to be individually recreated as well. Also, there is no option to Duplicate a Smart Folder, which could be quite useful for similar reasons.

Senility strikes again - Yes please merge - or just close this one which does not really add anything to my previous nearly-identical post. 🤪
