What to expect
Canvases that meet the following criteria are eligible to be transferred:
- Member who originally created the canvas is currently deactivated.
- Canvases must be shared to a conversation with at least one member.
- All eligible canvases will be transferred to the new owner, it isn't possible to select specific canvases to transfer.
Note: Canvases created by guests or external people cannot be transferred.
