Transfer ownership of your content item
When you create a page, live doc, whiteboard, database, or Smart Link in the content tree in Confluence, you’re known as both the creator and, by default, the owner of that content.
At any time, you can choose to transfer ownership of your content item to another user. This can be helpful for indicating who should be the “point person” responsible for the content going forward.
It’s not currently possible to transfer ownership of space overview pages or blogs.
You can’t change the owner of a content item while using the Confluence mobile app.
To transfer ownership to someone else, select the content owner avatar and name from the area below the title. Then, select the Change owner button to the right of the content owner’s name.
You can also open the Details panel from the floating action bar at the bottom right of your screen.
To the right of the content owner’s name, select the “Change owner” button.
Next, use the search field to find a new owner by name or email. The new owner must have access to the space and edit access to the item for you to be able to make them the owner.
Once you’ve chosen the correct person, select Change owner to confirm the transfer.
After changing ownership to someone else, you still retain edit access, but won’t be able to change the owner back to yourself (unless you’re also an admin).
Confluence space and product admins can also transfer ownership of your content, if needed.
