Hi there,

The documentation about _Project Transfer_ is available here: [https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/project-move/](https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/instance-administration/project-move/) . Do note that this feature is available in [SonarQube Enterprise Edition](https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/enterprise/).
