Well guess what! It’s your lucky day. Because UE4 is broken and it doesn’t update the second project. If you work on one on one computer IT WONT TOUCH THE OTHER! Isn’t that fantastic!

Select the level you want to send over in Content Browser \> Right click \> Asset Actions \> Migrate \> show the other project’s **Content** folder. It will try to copy everything in that level into the other project, but you’ll get a warning when it finds the same assets in the other project. Overwrite only the level and say NO to other asset warnings, and you should be good to go. Make sure to get a backup of your project beforehand just in case though.

Ok but I am not trying to transfer level to another project, but to another Computer. I already transferred the whole project, except the level never went with it…

how did you go about transferring from one pc to the other? did you just copy the content folder or project folder? did you use a system like perforce?

> it doesn’t update the second project. If you work on one on one computer IT WONT TOUCH THE OTHER

its not meant to, they are for all intents separate projects at that time. that is unless you are implementing some sort of source control such as perforce.

also when replying to a post use the reply button instead of making answers that are not answers. it keeps things easy to follow for people in the future.

You need to have a nicer attitude if you want help. People here are spending their time to help each other out, just yelling “didn’t work” doesnt help anyone. You should explain your working process, provide screenshots if possible.

Sorry… I’ve just all hope. I’d rather quit than look any further.

Have you tried ‘p4 submit’ to carry your changes to the repository?
