Quick summary

Transferring a survey in SurveyMonkey lets you hand ownership of any survey to another account using just their username and email address. The recipient receives a transfer link granting them immediate access to the survey.

Steps

Navigate to your desired survey and click the ellipsis icon.
From the drop-down menu, select Transfer.
Add the relevant details of the other account, such as username and email address.
Click Transfer and the recipient will receive a link granting access to the survey.

📌 Why this matters

Transferring survey ownership in SurveyMonkey is essential when teams restructure, employees leave, or projects change hands — ensuring no survey data is lost. The built-in Transfer feature lets administrators reassign any survey to a new account in seconds using just the recipient's username and email address. This eliminates the need to recreate surveys from scratch, preserving existing questions, logic, and collected responses. For organizations managing multiple SurveyMonkey accounts, the transfer workflow is a critical tool for maintaining continuity and data governance.
