To transfer everything, including configurations, projects, scripts, diagrams, and other workspace data, copy the entire workspace folder and place it in the corresponding location on the new machine.
Alternatively, you can export and import specific items like Projects, Scripts, or Preferences separately, or use Git integration to manage and sync your work:
To transfer specific items like Projects, Scripts, or Preferences, use DBeaver's export and import functionality.
For detailed steps on exporting and importing, see:
