Description

Currently all projects are shown in one workspace and to be transferred would have to be exported one at a time. Allowing multiple workspaces would grant both multi-tenancy (avoiding the need to run multiple instances for different workspaces) and easier import and export of a complete set of projects; common when one is doing cross joins.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the Project view and the existing project import/export flows, then define how workspace switching, multi-tenancy, and complete workspace transfers should work; done means multiple workspaces can be managed without separate instances and their projects can be imported or exported as a set.
