Hello OpenAI team and community,
I’ve noticed some important limitations while using Team Workspaces compared to Personal accounts:
-
Personal accounts have an “Export Data” option, but Team Workspaces do not.
-
There is currently no way to transfer chats from one Team Workspace to another Team Workspace.
-
If a Personal account is merged into a Team Workspace, it cannot be undone (no rollback option).
Why this is a problem (my case):
-
My old Team Workspace is going to be deactivated, but I cannot export or migrate the chats to the new Team Workspace.
-
This means I will lose all important conversation history that my team relies on for continuity.
-
If an admin becomes inactive, or if an organization restructures, all chat history is stuck in the old workspace with no recovery.
-
Personal → Team merge is also one-way only, so there’s no flexibility if a mistake is made.
Questions & Requests:
-
Is there really no export option for Team Workspaces, or am I missing it?
-
If it doesn’t exist yet, can OpenAI please consider adding:
-
Export option for Team Workspaces (like Personal accounts have).
-
Team → Team transfer/migration feature for organizations that restructure or need continuity.
-
An option to undo Personal → Team merge in case it was done by mistake.
-
This would be very helpful for teams and businesses that rely on ChatGPT for their workflows.
Thanks in advance for clarifying and considering this request.
