Transfer Workspace ownership

As the owner of a Workspace, you may transfer ownership to another member of the Workspace.

Transfer Workspace ownership

You can transfer Workspace ownership if you want to:

make another Workspace member the owner.
leave the Workspace, but retain the drafts and published stories in that Workspace.

After transferring ownership

If you transfer ownership but remain a member in the Workspace, you will not be able to:

invite members to the Workspace.
access to Workspace settings.
publish and update published stories.
transfer the Workspace.

If you transfer Workspace ownership and leave the Workspace, you’ll lose access to the Workspace. To rejoin the Workspace, the new Workspace owner must invite you again.
