# Migrating Database Connections

👤 This documentation is intended for Workspace Admins. Check with your Team Admin for additional access.

## Overview

Migrating database connections consists of **exporting the DB connection(s)** from the source [Workspace](/v1/docs/about-workspaces), and then importing them on the destination Workspace. The export process generates a ZIP file that includes the database connection metadata (with the exception of the password, for security reasons).

There are two ways to migrate database connections:

- **Using the Preset UI**
- **Using the Preset API**

### Migrate Database Connections through the Preset UI
