FAQs

1. What happens when I transfer ownership of my Google Doc?

When you transfer ownership, the new owner gains full control over the document. They can edit, share, and delete the document. You will still have access to the document, but your permissions will be downgraded to an editor.

2. Can I transfer ownership back to myself?

Yes, but only if the new owner transfers it back to you. You cannot reclaim ownership without the new owner's consent.

3. Can I transfer ownership to someone who doesn't have a Google account?

No, the new owner must have a Google account. If they don't have one, they'll need to create one before you can transfer ownership.
