## **🧭 Overview**

Search Atlas does not currently support direct project transfers between accounts. If your SEO manager has opened their own Search Atlas account, you cannot move an existing project from your account into theirs with a single click. However, there is a workaround available — and this article walks you through what to expect.

## **⚠️ Current Platform Limitation**

Project ownership in Search Atlas is tied to the account that created it. At this time, the platform does not include a built-in **Transfer Ownership** option that moves a project directly from one account to another. This means your SEO manager cannot simply claim or import your existing project from their own dashboard.

## **✅ The Recommended Workaround**

The most effective way to hand a project over to another account requires backend assistance from the Search Atlas support team. This process preserves all the work completed on the project and allows the receiving account to continue from exactly where you left off.

## **📋 What to Have Ready When You Escalate**

1. **Complete and save all current work** — Before starting the transfer process, make sure all recent changes, content, and settings inside the project are fully saved. Review any pending tasks or unsaved edits across your project tools.
2. **Confirm the destination account exists** — Make sure your SEO manager has already created and verified their Search Atlas account before you initiate the request, otherwise the transfer cannot be completed.
3. **Gather the required details** — Have the following ready when you contact support:

   - The exact name of the project you want to transfer
   - The email address associated with your own Search Atlas account
   - The email address associated with your SEO manager's Search Atlas account

## **📩 How to Request the Transfer**

Because transferring a project between accounts requires action on the backend, you will need to reach out to the Search Atlas support team. A support team member will assist with moving the project data and settings to the destination account. Once the process is finished, the project will be accessible inside your SEO manager's account and they can continue working without needing to recreate any of the existing setup.

After the transfer is complete, ask your SEO manager to log into their account and verify that the project is visible, that all settings are intact, and that they have full access to continue the work.
