Move From Trello To Hub for Teams

A person sets up your Hub for Teams workspace, imports what Trello lets us bring over, and schedules the cutover around your team's schedule, not ours.

The short answer

Moving off Trello means moving your boards, cards and attachments into Hub for Teams — Liberation’s all-in-one chat, video, file storage and project management app, all under one login.

To move from Trello, look at how your boards are really used. Some work as simple to-do lists, others track a pipeline with labels, due dates and checklists. Write down the columns, labels and recurring cards on each active board, then rebuild that structure in the new tool rather than copying it card by card. Archive boards nobody has touched in months.

Shared boards often include outside contacts, so check who has access before and after the move. CISA explains multi-factor authentication in plain terms, and our guide on password managers is a simple way to keep team logins under control.

Teams that move from Trello usually want to know three things: what moves, in what order, and when the old account can be closed. The graphic below summarizes the process, and the same steps are explained in more detail further down this page.

Move from Trello to Hub for Teams: what is included in the migration, from setup to cutover

If you are weighing whether to move from Trello now or wait, the timing is yours to choose. You can move from Trello in one window or in stages, and the old account stays live until you confirm the new one works for everyone.

People who move from Trello often ask about cost first. Our migration team walks through the plan with you before anything starts, so you know what it takes to move from Trello before you commit.

Some questions come up on almost every move from Trello. Can we move from Trello without downtime? Yes, because the old account stays live until the cutover. How long does it take to move from Trello? We confirm the timeline with you before anything starts. Will we lose anything when we move from Trello? We confirm what moves before we begin, and anything that cannot move is listed up front.

If you would rather talk it through, tell us what you use today and we will explain what it takes to move from Trello for your team.

Most team migrations complete within a few business days of you approving the plan, with a scheduled cutover window so there’s no unexpected disruption for your team.

What actually happens

We build your workspace first

Your Trello boards stay live and untouched while we build and configure your new Hub for Teams workspace.

We bring over your boards

Boards, lists, cards, checklists and attachments move into Hub for Teams’ project management tools — we map your board structure to projects before anything is imported.

We schedule the cutover with you

You pick the day your team switches over, and we’re online while everyone signs in for the first time.

There’s no dual system to manage during the transition — once your workspace is ready and your team has tried it, your old Trello boards can be archived or closed out on your schedule.

Why teams leave Trello

The most common reasons: Trello only handles boards, so chat, files, email and video all live in separate subscriptions; the free plan caps you at 10 boards per workspace; and automation (Butler) runs are limited unless you upgrade. See the full Trello vs. Hub for Teams comparison →

What moves, what doesn't have to

Boards & cards

Board and list structure moves over; cards, checklists, labels and due dates come with them, mapped into Hub for Teams’ project management tools.

Attachments

Card attachments move into Hub for Teams’ file storage, organized by the board or project they came from (Trello’s free plan caps attachments at 10 MB per file).

Team accounts & permissions

We set up every team member’s login and board permissions before the cutover, so nobody has to self-register on day one.

Priced the way a business buys

Step-by-step: export your Trello boards and switch your team over

Export your Trello data

  1. Open each board in Trello, click Show Menu → More → Print, export and share → Export as JSON (or use Trello’s paid-plan bulk export from Workspace settings if you have several boards).
  2. Send us the export files along with your current member list.
  3. We build your Hub for Teams workspace: boards recreated as projects, cards, checklists and attachments imported, and permissions set to match your Trello team.
  4. We test everything against your live Trello boards, invite your team to try it, then schedule the cutover for a time that works for you.

We test your new workspace first

Your migrated workspace is checked against your live Trello boards — cards, checklists, attachments — before your team gets invited in.

We schedule the cutover with you

You pick the day your team switches, and we’re online to help with sign-in on day one.

Your old Trello boards stay intact until you’re ready to close them out or export the rest yourself.

Common questions

No. Trello’s JSON export includes card activity, comments and checklists for every board you export, and we bring that history into the matching Hub for Teams project.
No. Most teams migrate the boards they use daily first, then bring over archived boards later or leave them in Trello for reference.
Trello automations and Power-Ups don’t transfer directly — we’ll walk through what your team relies on and rebuild the equivalent workflow in Hub for Teams’ own automation and integrations.
Migration is free when you choose an annual Hub for Teams plan; otherwise it’s available from $50/user. We’ll quote it upfront, no surprises.
