Reassign canvas or list ownership

If the creator of a canvas or a list is deactivated from your workspace, an Owner or Admin can transfer ownership of all shared canvases and lists to a new member.

What to expect

Canvases and lists that meet the following criteria are eligible to be transferred:

• Member who originally created the canvas or list is currently deactivated.
• Canvases and lists must be shared to a conversation with at least one member.
• All eligible canvases and lists will be transferred to the new owner, it isn't possible to select specific canvases or lists to transfer.

Note: Canvases and lists created by guests or external people cannot be transferred.
