# Cloudflare Workspace data requires manual migration

Markdown version of <https://harbyn.com/changes/cloudflare/2026-10-20-agents-workers-think-agents-now-use-a-cloudflare-computer-workspace-3>.

Breaking change - Cloudflare. medium severity. In effect. History: recorded after the fact.

@cloudflare/computer stores files in different tables from @cloudflare/shell, and workspace data is not migrated automatically. Without copying the files, an agent starts with an empty workspace; the original data remains in the existing tables.

The deadline passed on Oct 20, 2026.
