📦Migrate a Dataset

How to migrate a dataset to another workspace

Let's imagine you want to move a dataset from a workspace that we'll call old-workspace to new-workspace. For now you'll need to export your dataset in the COCO format and import them back into the new workspace.

1. Export your datasets

• Go to your old workspace https://labelflow.ai/old-workspace

• Open the dataset you wish to migrate

• Click on Export in the top right

  • Select the COCO format

  • In the displayed options, choose to export the annotations only, it will save a JSON file to your computer

Export your local datasets in the COCO format.

2. Create a new workspace (go to step 3 if you already have one)

• Click on Create workspace by opening the workspace switcher (top left - or click here)

• Name your workspace (it has to be unique across the entire LabelFlow community)

• Sign-in if you are not already signed-in

• You now have an online workspace in the workspace switcher. Select it.

3. Import your dataset to the new-workspace

• Create a new dataset. This dataset is hosted in your new-workspace. Make sure you have selected your new-workspace in the workspace switcher (see above)

• Click on the dataset card to open the image gallery view

• Click on the Add images button

  • Start by uploading the images you had in your old-workspace dataset you have exported at step 1. Once done, close the import modal to come back to the image gallery view.

  • Click on Add images a 2nd time and drop the COCO (.json) annotation file you have exported at step 1.

• That's it 🎉 . Click on your images, your annotations and the classes have been imported.

You should repeat this operation for every dataset you wish to migrate.
