# Move tags to another project

To move tags from one Motus Project to another, we need to know the tag database ID’s of the the tags to be moved as well as the project number they are to be moved to. To facilitate this process and to ensure that the correct tags are moved, we have provided a Move Tags Template file to be filled out and to us.

### 1) Download the Move Tags Template file below

{% file src="/files/gKQj1c1rMYUEdpF0EKI5" %}

### 2) Visit your station’s [Manage Tags](https://motus.org/data/project/tags) page

Copy the **ID**, **Mfg ID**, and **Burst Interval** of the tags you wish to move.

{% hint style="success" %}
*There are a couple easy ways to copy columns in a table on a website depending on the browser you use:*<br>

* *Firefox: hold down the CTRL key while clicking and dragging with your mouse*
* *Chrome or Edge: use an add-on like* [*Copytables* ](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copytables/ekdpkppgmlalfkphpibadldikjimijon)
  {% endhint %}

### 3) Paste those details into the Move Tags Template

The **first three columns** in the template correspond to the **first three columns** on your project’s Manage Tags page.

### 4) Add the project numbers of both current and **target** projects of the tags you wish to move

{% hint style="warning" %}
Just add the project *numbers*. There is no need to add the project names.
{% endhint %}

### 5) Email the completed file to [Motus](mailto:motus@birdscanada.org)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.motus.org/en/tags/tag-metadata-management/move-tags.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
