You can add existing programs to a portfolio. Because programs cannot exist in two different portfolios, adding an existing program permanently moves it from one portfolio to another.

Add an existing program to a portfolio

NOTE
When your organization uses both legacy Workfront and Adobe cloud storage for documents, the following scenarios exist:
  • When you add an Adobe cloud storage program to a legacy Workfront storage portfolio and the portfolio has no documents attached to it, the portfolio is converted to Adobe cloud storage.
  • When you add an Adobe cloud storage program to a legacy Workfront storage portfolio and the portfolio has documents attached to it, the portfolio documents storage remains on Workfront storage. However, the legacy Workfront storage icon Legacy Workfront storage icon is removed from the portfolio.
  • You cannot add a legacy Workfront storage program to an Adobe cloud storage portfolio.
For more information, see Document management overview for projects and related objects.
Not all Workfront instances have both types of document storages.

To add an existing program to another portfolio:

  1. Go to a portfolio, then click Programs in the left panel.

  2. Click New Program.

  3. Click Existing Program.
