How to move data from one project to another

When you need to create a new project that has some of the same data as an existing project:

1. Start an instance in the source project.
2. Copy data that you want to transfer from the (shared) ${HOME}/project directory to your (private) ${HOME}directory.
3. Stop your instance in the source project.
4. Start an instance in the target project.
5. Move or copy the data that you want to transfer from ${HOME} to the (new) ${HOME}/project directory.

The shared workspace provided by Nightingale projects under your ~/project directory provides a convenient way to share data with other members of your research team. Sometimes, you might want to start a new project that relies on results from a past project. There isn't a direct way to copy from one project to another because each project is intentionally isolated. So to accomplish what you want, you need to make a private copy of the project data in your user home and then copy or move it into the other project directory.
