Moving Docs and Pages

Reorder, move between projects, and convert docs and pages with ease for better document management.

In Productive, you can easily reorder and move pages and docs between projects for better organization. You can even convert pages to docs and vice versa.
​
We'll explore all the options below.

1. Reordering Pages in a Doc

To reorder pages in a doc or change their position in the doc hierarchy, drag and drop them where you need them.

📌 Note: Use the Expand / Collapse all pages buttons to open or close all pages and subpages at once. This makes it easier to find your way around a doc and reorder pages.

2. Moving Pages Between Docs

To move a page to a different doc, click the three dots next to the page, or open the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, and select Move page.

When you move a page to a new doc, all its subpages move with it, so the hierarchy stays the same.

3. Moving Docs Between Projects

To move a whole doc to a different project, click the three dots next to the doc and select the option to move it to another project.

📌 If your doc uses custom fields, they are tied to projects, so you’ll need to reapply them if you move the doc—unless the new project already uses the same fields. For more information, see Docs Custom Fields.

4. Sharing Options and Moved Pages

When you move a page to a new doc, it takes the sharing options of the destination doc, so its permissions match its new location.

5. Converting Pages to Docs

To convert a page to a doc, open the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, or next to the page in the sidebar, and click Convert to doc.

This creates a doc in the same project, which you’ll find in the project’s Docs tab. If the page has subpages, they’re included in the new doc too.

You can convert a doc to a page the same way, with the Convert to page option. First, choose the doc you want to save the new pages to.
