when you own a Google Doc you have total
control over user permissions and you
can delete the doc whenever you please
but if you need to pass these
responsibilities on to someone else you
can transfer ownership of the document
to another person first you'll need to
open a Google Doc that you are the owner
of then click the share button you'll
see a list of everyone you've shared the
document with you can transfer ownership
to one of these people or you can email
an invitation to someone new just type
their email address into the text box
and click send
once you decide on the new owner click
the drop-down arrow by their name and
select make owner you'll need to confirm
your choice just in case you have second
thoughts about this permanent change
once you're sure click yes
that person will immediately become the
owner of the document your permission
will change to editor unless the new
owner changes it to something else also
you will no longer be able to delete the
document this feature does have a few
restrictions for instance you cannot
transfer ownership from the mobile app
also if your Google account is through
your work or school you cannot transfer
ownership with anyone outside of that
organization other than that you should
be free to transfer ownership to
whomever you like
