Are you looking to transfer a project in Webflow? Whether you’re moving your project to a different account or sharing it with a collaborator, Webflow makes it easy to transfer projects seamlessly. In this article, we will guide you step-by-step on how to transfer your project in Webflow.
Step 1: Accessing the Project Settings
To begin the transfer process, log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the dashboard. Locate the project that you want to transfer and click on it. This will take you to the project editor.
Once inside the project editor, look for the settings icon, which resembles a gear. Click on it to open the project settings menu.
Step 2: Transferring Ownership
In the project settings menu, scroll down until you find the “Transfer Ownership” section. This is where you can initiate the transfer process.
Note: Only organization owners or team admins have permission to transfer ownership of a project.
To transfer ownership, enter the email address of the recipient into the designated field. You can either choose an existing member of your organization or invite a new person by entering their email address.
If transferring within your organization:
- If you are transferring ownership within your organization, simply select an existing member from the drop-down list.
- Note: Make sure that the recipient has an active Webflow account and is part of your organization before proceeding with this step.
If transferring outside your organization:
- If you wish to transfer ownership outside your organization, enter the recipient’s email address manually in the designated field.
- Once you’ve entered the email address, click on the “Transfer” button to initiate the transfer process.
Step 3: Confirming the Transfer
After initiating the transfer, Webflow will send an email notification to both you and the recipient. The recipient will receive an invitation to accept ownership of the project.
Note: The transfer process may take a few moments, so please be patient.
The recipient needs to accept the ownership transfer by clicking on the provided link within the email. This will redirect them to Webflow, where they can either log in with an existing account or create a new one.
If accepting as an organization member:
- If the recipient is already a member of your organization, they need to log in using their existing account credentials.
- After logging in, they will see a prompt asking them to confirm ownership transfer. By clicking “Confirm,” they will become the new owner of the project.
If accepting as a non-member:
- If the recipient does not have a Webflow account, they will be prompted to create one by entering their desired password and agreeing to Webflow’s terms of service.
- After creating an account and logging in, they will see a confirmation message where they can click “Confirm” to accept ownership of the project.
Step 4: Finalizing the Transfer
Once the recipient has confirmed ownership transfer, they will gain full access to the project. As the previous owner, you will no longer have control over that project unless explicitly granted access by them or another team admin.
Note: If you are the last team admin transferring ownership, make sure to assign a new team admin before finalizing the transfer to avoid losing control over your organization’s projects.
And that’s it! You’ve successfully transferred a project in Webflow.
It’s important to note that once a project is transferred, it cannot be undone. So double-check all the details and ensure that you’re making the transfer to the correct recipient.
