Move Sprint Folders in ClickUp

In ClickUp, Sprint Folders help you organize your work into structured iterations. Sometimes, you may need to move a Sprint Folder to a new Space or change its location, while keeping your Sprints, tasks, and reporting intact. This guide explains exactly how to move a Sprint Folder, what changes to expect, and how to keep your reports accurate after the move.

Understanding Sprint Folders in ClickUp

A Sprint Folder is a dedicated Folder configured for Sprint management. It contains multiple Sprint Lists, each usually representing a time‑boxed Sprint. When you move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp, you are changing where that Folder lives in your Workspace hierarchy, not deleting or recreating it.

Key points about Sprint Folders:

They group all related Sprints and tasks under one Folder.
They store historical data needed for Sprint reporting.
They are connected to Sprint reporting options set in your Workspace settings.

Requirements before you move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp

Before you move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp, verify that:

You have permission to edit the Sprint Folder and its parent Space.
The destination Space is visible to you and allowed for your role.
No critical team workflows depend on the current location of the Folder without being informed of the change.

Checking these details helps prevent confusion for team members and ensures reporting continues to behave as expected.

How to move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp

Use the following steps to move a Sprint Folder to a new location in your Workspace.

Step 1: Open the Sprint Folder in ClickUp

Go to the Sidebar in your Workspace.
Locate the Space that currently contains your Sprint Folder.
Click the Sprint Folder you want to move to open it.

Opening the Folder first ensures you are working with the correct Sprint data.

Step 2: Open Folder settings in ClickUp

Hover over the Sprint Folder name in the Sidebar.
Click the ellipsis button (three dots) to open the Folder settings menu.
Review the menu options to confirm you are editing the correct Folder.

Step 3: Choose the Move option

In the Folder settings menu, select the option to move the Folder.
A move dialog or menu appears, allowing you to pick the new destination.
Confirm that you are moving the entire Sprint Folder, not just a single List.

Step 4: Select the destination Space in ClickUp

From the move dialog, choose the Space where you want the Sprint Folder to live.
Review the Space name and hierarchy to avoid placing the Folder in the wrong area.
Confirm the selection to start the move.

After confirmation, the Sprint Folder, its Sprints, and all tasks are relocated under the new Space. No manual copying is required.

What happens after you move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp

Moving a Sprint Folder affects reporting and capacity settings. The following sections describe what changes and what stays the same.

Effect on historical Sprint data in ClickUp

When you move a Sprint Folder in ClickUp:

All existing Sprints remain in the Folder.
Completed and active Sprints keep their tasks and statuses.
Historical data related to these Sprints stays available inside the Folder.

The move does not reset your Sprints or delete their history. It only changes where the Folder appears in the Workspace navigation.

Effect on Sprint reporting in ClickUp

ClickUp uses your Workspace Sprint settings to know which Sprint Folders are included in reporting. When you move a Sprint Folder to a new Space:

The Folder can still be used for Sprint reporting, if it remains selected in your settings.
If your reporting is scoped to specific Spaces, you may need to review those settings.
Reports that reference this Folder may display it under its new Space name or location.

To avoid confusion, let your team know that the Sprint Folder has moved and may appear under a different Space in reports.

Effect on Sprint capacity planning in ClickUp

Capacity planning is linked to the Sprints contained in your Sprint Folder. After the move:

Existing capacity values for active and historical Sprints remain intact.
Future Sprints created in the moved Folder continue to use your configured capacity settings.
If you rely on filters by Space for capacity views, you may need to update those filters.

The move does not remove or reset team capacity; it only changes the Folder’s place in your Workspace hierarchy.

Best practices for managing Sprint Folders in ClickUp

To keep your Workspace organized and reports accurate after moving a Sprint Folder, follow these best practices.

Confirm Workspace Sprint settings in ClickUp

After moving the Folder, review your Workspace Sprint settings:

Ensure the moved Sprint Folder is still selected as a Sprint Folder in settings.
Check whether any other Folders should be added or removed from Sprint reporting.
Align naming conventions so team members clearly recognize the new location.

Update documentation and training

If your organization maintains internal docs or onboarding materials, update them so they match the new Folder location. You can also review expert guidance, such as the official article on how to move a Sprint Folder at this ClickUp help center page.

Communicate changes to your team

To prevent confusion, notify relevant users that the Sprint Folder has moved. Consider including:

The new Space where the Sprint Folder now lives.
Any changes to how reports should be accessed.
Clarification that existing Sprints and capacity data are unchanged.

Troubleshooting a moved Sprint Folder in ClickUp

If something does not look right after you move the Sprint Folder, check the following items.

The Sprint Folder is missing or hard to find

Verify that you are viewing the correct Space in the Sidebar.
Use search to look for the Sprint Folder by name.
Check your permissions for the destination Space.

Reports no longer show the expected Sprints

Open your Workspace Sprint settings and confirm the Folder is selected.
Review any filters that limit reporting by Space or location.
Make sure the moved Folder is not accidentally excluded in custom report filters.

Capacity views look different

Check whether your capacity view is filtered by Space.
Confirm that all relevant Sprints are still part of the same Sprint Folder.
Adjust filters so the moved Folder’s Sprints are included.
