Account migration, merging your workspaces, and managing subscriptions

Updated over a month ago

When you accept an invite to a ChatGPT Team workspace, you can join a collaborative workspace shared with other team members. If you also have a ChatGPT Personal workspace (Free or Plus), you have one of 2 options:

  1. Keep your ChatGPT Personal workspace (Free or Plus). This allows you to keep your data from your Personal workspace separate from your Team workspace, which you can access when you switch between workspaces. If you have a Plus subscription, you will maintain your subscription until you cancel your Plus subscription. You will continue to have access to your chats in your Personal workspace, even after cancellation.

  2. Merge your ChatGPT Personal workspace (Free or Plus) into your Team workspace. This allows you to migrate data from your Personal workspace to your Team workspace to become one unified workspace, and deletes your personal workspace after migration. If you have a Plus subscription, we will automatically cancel it and provide a refund for your remaining subscription period, except if you have a mobile subscription. If you have a mobile subscription, please see the linked articles for how to cancel your Plus subscription on iOS or cancel your Plus subscription on Android. Please note that merging your workspaces is irreversible.

What will happen to my data if I merge my workspaces?

All of your existing chat history and GPTs from your Personal workspace will be moved to the Team workspace. Any plugins or custom instructions that you've set up in your personal workspace will be deleted upon merging. If you had an existing verified domain in your GPT Builder Profile, you will need to re-verify that domain in the new Team workspace. If you're seeing that your domain could not be verified because it is already verified by another organization, please check to ensure you've removed that domain from your Builder Profile of your Personal workspace.

Please note that custom instructions will not be migrated from your Personal workspace to your Team workspace. To ensure that you don't lose this after merging, please make sure to copy it somewhere before migrating!

Is it possible to lose access to migrated data on my Team workspace?

If you migrate your data, that data is now considered part of your Team workspace. If you lose access to your Team workspace, you will also lose access to the migrated data. This means that if you ever leave or get removed from the Team workspace, or if the workspace itself gets deactivated, you will lose access to all of your data in your Team workspace. Instead, when you access your account, you will be redirected to a new Personal workspace without existing data. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure you understand your Team or organization's policies before choosing whether to merge your personal workspace or keep your personal workspace separate.

Can I export my data on a Team workspace?

No, you cannot export your data on a Team workspace.

Is this reversible?

Merging your account is permanent and cannot be undone.

How do I merge my workspaces?

You can merge workspaces by clicking on your profile menu from within the Team workspace, going to ”Settings,” going to “Data Controls,” and selecting “Merge data from your personal workspace.”

Can I merge data from one Team workspace to another?

We currently do not support merging data between existing Team workspaces. Each workspace is treated as a distinct entity with its own set of data, settings, and user permissions. This also means GPTs created in one Team workspace cannot be transferred to another Team workspace.
