# Reminder

## Personal spaces and subscription services leave in August

We have found that custom, contract-based plans allow us to better support our customers. To that end, we are sunsetting our subscription-based service plans (Bluescape Go, Pro, and Business). If you have a subscription-based account and are interested in keeping your account by upgrading to our enterprise product, please fill out [this form](https://create.bluescape.com/upgrade-to-enterprise).

Personal spaces are being removed from **all plans**. If team members have used their personal spaces, they will need to move the content to your team space.

- Learn how to determine if you have content housed in your personal space [with this FAQ](https://community.bluescape.com/t/go-pro-and-business-account-removal-faq/5590).
- Learn how to save your content by moving it to a team space [in this how-to article](https://community.bluescape.com/t/saving-content-from-personal-spaces/5591).
