2️⃣ Case 2: Transferring a Map to Another Account
-
Typical situations: a colleague hands a map over to you, you take over a colleague's subject area, or you have a new account (for example after switching from a basic account to a teacher account).
-
-
Here's how:
-
- The current owner opens the map, clicks the blue share button, and copies the map link (read or edit).
- Sign in with the target account, the account that should own the map from now on.
- Open the map link in your browser.
- Click the map menu (three dots) at the top right and choose "Copy map".
- The map is now stored as your own map in the target account, including all files.
-
-
Good to know:
-
- All files from the original map are copied into the storage of the target account. They stay available even if the previous owner deletes their uploads later.
- If the map is opened with read rights, only the visible columns and boxes are copied. With edit rights, everything is copied, including hidden columns and boxes.
- The previous owner must not have enabled "Disable map copying".
- The original stays with the previous owner and can be deleted afterwards.
-
There is no direct way to change the map owner. A transfer is always a copy made from the target account.
