Allow moving a tab between channels
Allow moving any tab, besides files and conversation, between channels in a group. On top of being able to dragging tabs to rearrange them in a channel, allow us to drag the tab to a different channel altogether. If any conversation topics at about items in that tab, it would be nice to have those seamlessly migrate to the new channel as well.
For bonus points: Allow moving a tab between groups, in the event a group needs to be 'discontinued' without losing the data.

Thank you for your comments and votes. While there is no status change, we did want to share that the feature is still being considered and remains under review.

Just wanted to add my vote to the importance of this feature.
Once a channel start growing you see the benefit of splitting the tabs into different channels. -

I find Teams very laborious and non-intuitive compared to something like Confluence. Some of the simple features like this one would be such an improvement! I am currently faced with hours of rework because this simple feature isn't available.

Seriously, this is ridiculous that it's not an option. We started a channel off a team and now what to move some tabs to it. it also should be helpful if channels could have different people that access them - like we might want leadership only on one channel, and the entire time on another

I think this is an essential requirement as organisations and individuals are using Teams more and more for daily working, particularly in these WFH times we now find ourselves in. The main issue that this would resolve is that as a working Team grows and wants to bring other members to their channel but not share everything being able to move tabs to other channels that are maybe secure would be incredibly valuable. As this way of working evolves and interactions by teams with customers and stakeholders does the facility to add channels is great however you might not want to share everything. using General by default creates problems later on... a workaround fo rthis would be to recommend or even prevent the use of General for anything other than admin to the group and push teams to create channels from the start that can be locked as they need if their working group expands. Hope that's clear.

I can't believe this feature is still under review. It should have been there on day 1.

This is a must ... and at least allows to move or copy OneNote pages from one team to another ?

Yes please. I would love to have a separate channel just for forms, but I have created them in the General channel and cannot move them.

+1 we are needing to be able to reorganize our teams workspaces by moving items between channels and sometimes to different teams. That functionality would be useful.

I need this feature. My company has a standard template for our MS Teams project teams, but my team wants to utilize a Task Tab as a Kanban board with some standard tasks for each project. I can not update our template as not all teams use tasks the same way, so I would like to be able to copy tasks between channels.
