Is it possible to give ownership of a story to a different user?

    I'm looking to give my story to a different user that will be more active. I don't want to just add them as an owner, I want to pass full ownership of the story to them. Is there any way to do that?

    I think you have to add them as an owner or speak to an admin.

    You can definitely add someone else as an owner of the story, but I'm not sure if they can then remove you as the owner and become sole owner. I've never done that part.

    Helpful tip that I somehow forget every time: if you want to edit the story properties for ownership/change the cover art/change the POV or stuff like that you need to go to your story list using the little triangle icon on the top right of the screen to go to "My Stories". If you click on the story list and then try to edit the story there it doesn't give you the full story options that you get when you first create a brand new story.

    Though if you're an added owner, you have to use the direct link to the Edit Story page. (e.g. go to the story map and replace the "map" in the link with "edit")

    There are two ways to open story map. At bottom of chapters which have a chapter related link though you can use it too just have to remove a little bit more than just map
    Second one is about section this has just map.

    Oh, right...
    though replacing "map" with "edit" there works anyway.

    The rest of the link (the parameter) is just to highlight the current chapter on the story map. (It's then shown in black.)
