    Ok if i transfer the forms to them, will i still be the owner of the forms and have them in my account? I just want to make sure that i don't loose my forms after i 'transfer' them to my friends account.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you transfer your forms to someone else’s account, that means a change in form ownership, you will no longer be the owner of the forms. Ownership, along with all associated submission data of those forms, will be transferred to the new account.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    Thank you. Is there any possible way that i can 'copy' these templates for another account to use without impacting my current forms/access?
