New Homepage Beta: If you’re seeing the new homepage experience and want to transfer a survey, click the New Homepage toggle to access the Dashboard and My Surveys.

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.

Before you transfer your surveys, understand what to expect when you transfer shared or live surveys, or surveys with respondent authentication enabled.

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.

To transfer a single survey:

  1. Go to the My Surveys page in your account.
  2. Click the More icon to the right of the survey you'd like to transfer.
  3. Choose Transfer survey.
  4. Enter the username and email address for the account you want to transfer to. If you're on a Team, choose either Transfer to someone on my team or Transfer to someone outside my team and enter the required info.
  5. Click Transfer.

To see all the surveys you've transferred in bulk within the last 30 days, go to My Surveys and select View transfer history. This list won't include surveys you've transferred individually (by selecting the more icon from the My Surveys page) or surveys that have been transferred to you.

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.

Open surveys, also known as live surveys, continue to collect responses while they're transferred to the new account.

If Respondent Authentication is turned on, the option stays on when you transfer the survey to another account in your team.

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.
