Transfer ownership

Every shared workspace has one owner. If you want someone else to take over, you can transfer ownership to another member. This is useful when a workspace should carry on without you.

When to use this

Transfer ownership when the person who manages a shared space changes. For example a partner takes over managing the home, a team lead changes, or you are about to leave or delete your account and want the workspace to continue.

Step by step

1. Open the shared workspace you own.
2. Open the workspace menu.
3. Choose Transfer ownership.
4. Pick the member who should become the new owner.
5. Choose Continue, then confirm the transfer.

What to expect

The person you chose becomes the new owner straight away. You become a regular member. Everyone keeps all of their data, and the workspace carries on as normal. The change is recorded in the workspace activity, and the new owner is notified.

Who can do this

Only the current owner can transfer ownership, and only to someone who is already a member of the workspace.

Helpful tips

Common mistakes

• Trying to transfer to someone who is not a member yet. Invite them first, then transfer.
• Expecting to undo a transfer yourself. Once done, only the new owner can transfer it back.
