Moving your application
Applications reside within the organization in which they have been created. Sometimes, however, it might be that you want to move the application to another organization if a copy based on an application template does not suffice.
You can move your application by being an admin of the application with sufficient permissions and opening up the advanced settings of your application.
Here you have the option to move your application to another organization of which you are also an admin.
Note: It is important to look into the organizations' roles and permissions, as you need corresponding ones to move applications from one to another organization.
