Reassign ownership of a copilot

When the original owner of a copilot is no longer available, due to resignation or role changes, it can be challenging to edit and manage the copilot effectively. This guide walks you through the process of reassigning ownership of a copilot to a new user.

In this example, the current owner is Quy Vu.
