Step 3: Review and Update Settings
Now that your project has been successfully imported, it’s essential to review and update any necessary settings:
A. Check Project Settings

- Review and update general settings like site name, domain, custom code, SEO settings, etc., as per your requirements.
- Spend some time exploring other settings available to customize your project further.
B. Update Interactions and Integrations (if applicable)

- Navigate, for example, to interactions panel or integration tabs within Webflow Designer and set them up again.
- Ensure all your forms, animations, or external services are properly connected.
Step 4: Collaborate or Transfer Ownership
Lastly, if you are moving the project to collaborate with others or transfer ownership, follow these steps:
A. Collaborating on the Project

- Click on the “Collaborate” tab.
- Add team members by entering their email addresses.
- Select appropriate permissions for each team member (e.g., Designer, Editor, etc.).
- Click on the “Invite” button to send invitations to collaborate.
- Your team members will receive an email invitation and can start collaborating once they accept it. Transferring Ownership of the Project
- Contact Webflow support via their official channels (email, chat) and explain your request to transfer ownership of the project.
- Follow their instructions and provide any necessary information for verification purposes.
- Their support team will guide you through the process of transferring ownership smoothly.
Congratulations! You have successfully moved your project from one Webflow account to another.
