Why should you use this feature?

Figma is a powerful design tool that enables seamless collaboration for creative teams. Transferring the ownership of Figma files to another account offers significant flexibility and ensures smooth workflow continuity.

This feature is crucial for scenarios like team changes or when handing off projects to new owners. By changing file ownership, you provide the new owner with full administrative rights, enabling them to manage the file's accessibility and permissions efficiently.
