# Fork a Workspaces Document into a New Workspace

> Copy the current document and its referenced assets into a new personal or organization workspace.

Fork creates a new workspace from one document. It copies the current document
and its referenced assets, but it does not copy comments or earlier version
history.

## Before you fork

You must sign in and have view access to the source document. You do not need
edit access.

## Fork the document

1. Open the document and select **Fork**.
2. If Workspaces asks you to sign in, select **Log in**, return to the document,
   and select **Fork** again.
3. Enter the new workspace name.
4. If destination choices appear, choose **Personal** or **In *organization***.
   Workspaces uses **Personal** when no choices appear.
5. Select **Fork**.

Workspaces opens the copied document in the new workspace.

## What the new workspace contains

* The current document content, including live edits that have not reached a
  save point, and its path.
* Existing workspace assets linked from Markdown images or HTML `src` values
  that use paths relative to the document. Workspaces does not copy full web
  addresses, paths that start with `/`, or missing assets.
* One new starting version.

The source document stays unchanged. Its comments and version history remain in
the source workspace.

A personal fork is private. An organization fork belongs to the selected
organization and uses organization access. The person who forks the document
becomes the new workspace owner.

## If you cannot finish the fork

* Sign in. Anonymous guests cannot finish a fork without an account.
* Confirm that you can still view the source document.
* If an organization is missing from the destination list, confirm that you are
  still a member of it.
* If an organization fork is blocked because the organization is read-only,
  choose **Personal**.
* If **Fork** reports an error, return to **Home** and check whether the new
  workspace exists before trying again. Workspaces can create the workspace and
  document before a linked asset fails to copy.

Read [Add and organize files](/workspaces/documents/files-and-folders) for path,
move, conflict, and deletion rules in the new workspace.
