Transfer Doc Ownership

Each Coda doc has one - and only one - doc owner. Whoever creates a doc is the doc owner by default, with the ability to change ownership to other Doc Makers as needed.

For instance, you may be switching roles and need to transfer docs to your manager and old teammates. Or maybe you have finally handed that team project over to its rightful driver and want to give them doc ownership. Whatever comes your way, you can rest assured that a doc owner can be changed in a few easy steps! This article explains where and how to do so.

To transfer ownership of a Coda doc, you can try the following steps:

Make sure new owner is a member of your workspace

Share doc with new owner if it hasn’t been shared already/ Click Share in the top right corner of the doc

Click the permissions drop-down to the right of the new owner's name

Select the option to make the new owner the doc's owner

Confirm the new owner is a Doc Maker
