Question: Migrating projects from CVAT 1.3 to 2.2

[mojcris]

Hi,

I have some projects from an older version of CVAT (1.3) and now I'd like to use CVAT 2.2 but I don't know how to migrate my projects. I tried export the annotations and importing them in CVAT 2.2 but I get the following error:

{"detail":"CSRF Failed: CSRF token missing or incorrect."}

What's the best way to manually move projects from my old CVAT to the newest CVAT?

Thanks.

Hi @mojcris

Try to logout/login again.

Maybe a better option is just to upgrade CVAT.
All your data are expected to be keep in this case.

Thanks for your reply. The problem is that I have 2 different instances of CVAT (one older and one the latest) and I have projects in both CVATs. I'm trying to find a way to have all my projects in one place. Is export/import a good way to do this?

In general yes, I expect this wat should also work.
Try the first advice

Thank you very much. I'm going to try it now.

Hi @mojcris

Try to logout/login again.

This worked for me. Thanks so much.

Also, I realized that after upgrade to the latest CVAT from versions < 2.0, all the projects remain in the personal workspace of admin. Is it possible to move them all to a different workspace?

Permissions system was significantly reworked. Now to share a project/task/job with someone, owner needs to assign a user to this project/task/job. If you want to share a project with a group of people, you need to create an organization first, activate it and then create a project inside it. You can invite different users into the organization and assign corresponding roles.

Unfortunately there is not a feature to move a project between organizations now. Related issue #4202

Thanks for your reply. It makes sense.
