Transferring moves the entire survey, including collectors and responses to a different account and removes it from your account. You can transfer one or more surveys from your account to another paid account, as long as both accounts store data in the same data center. It isn't possible to transfer surveys across data centers.

The transferred surveys are removed from your account immediately and it may take a few minutes for them to appear in the account you sent them to.

You can only transfer surveys that you own. If you transfer a shared survey to another account on your team, the survey will continue to be shared with the same people.
If you transfer a shared survey to an account outside of your team, people will lose access to the survey.
Want to keep ownership of the survey? Instead of transferring, you can send a copy of the survey design to another account and keep ownership of the survey, its collectors, and its results.
Open surveys, also known as live surveys, continue to collect responses while they're transferred to the new account.

If you transfer a survey with Respondent Authentication turned on to an account outside of your team, Respondent Authentication is disabled. Anyone that opens the link will see a survey closed message.
