Manage Board Ownership

In a dynamic workspace characterized by frequent project collaboration, effective Board ownership management is a valuable feature. This functionality eliminates delays and the necessity for manual board transfers, providing users with the ability to seamlessly share or transfer Board ownership for immediate collaboration. You can manage Board ownership for Boards that have Owners and Boards without Owners.

This feature is available on Enterprise plan only
