Depending on your role and available project slots, you can transfer projects to other users or different workspaces.

Transferring a project in your Personal workspace to another user

Project owners can transfer the ownership of their projects to other users within the project.

From the “Projects” dashboard, hover over the project, click the settings icon, and select “Transfer Ownership”. The user that you select will become the new owner of the project and you will become a member with the admin role of the project.

⚠️ It’s only possible to transfer a project to a user who has enough free projects slots. If you see an error message saying that you were unable to transfer a project, ask that user make room for your project by deleting or archiving an active project. If they need more project slots, they can also upgrade to a different subscription plan: https://zeplin.io/pricing.
