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:
    1. The current owner opens the map, clicks the blue share button, and copies the map link (read or edit).
    2. Sign in with the target account, the account that should own the map from now on.
    3. Open the map link in your browser.
    4. Click the map menu (three dots) at the top right and choose "Copy map".
    5. 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.
