Migrating Journal from one campaign to another?

Hey everyone,  I have purchased a spell effect pack that I've uploaded to roll20 and done all of the work of creating journal entries for each for player access. Now, I'm starting a new campaign and want to use the spell effects again, but I want to transfer my work over and just edit the owners of the effects in the journal. I notice that My Library seems to go with me on each campaign, but the Journal does not.  Anyone have any experience with this?  I have considered cloning the game into a new one, but if I do that can I change the attached module? I've purchased SKT (d&d5e) and am intending to run that.  Help!

You can move them through the character vault. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Character_Vault" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Character_Vault</a> Easiest is to move them with the Transmogrifier, but that requires a Pro subscription.

If you had a Pro subscription, this would be easy. You could use the Transmogrifier If the journals are characters, you could use the Character Vault. If they are handouts, and at a Plus or Free subscription level, your best bet would be to open the journals in the old campaign, and copy and paste the contents into journals in the new campaign. Handouts and Characters cannot be copied and pasted between games, but their contents can. How many are you talking about?
This looks like it's for migrating a character, not things in the Journal that are shared. Am I missing something?&nbsp;

I'm the DM in this case and I tried migrating a character over that had access to all of the Journal entries (via Available to All Players) and it didn't seem to carry over. Interesting.&nbsp;

Interesting.&nbsp; I guess I'm not understanding what you mean by that.&nbsp; The settings on a character sheet/journal only apply to that particular journal entry.&nbsp; It won't provide access to any other entries.

Permissions are not likely to carry over. I believe that permissions are ID based, and most methods of moving things create new IDs. And part of the confusion above is that journals is the broad term. Characters and Handouts are both Journals.
I manually re-made the spell Handouts, thanks everyone.
