To transfer ownership of a story on your Shorthand dashboard to another team member, they'll need to first be added as a collaborator on the story.
If your story doesn't yet have collaborators, you may wish to read this article first as it outlines how to add collaborators from your current Shorthand team and how to add new users to the team and story.
If your story does already have other collaborators, find the story card on your dashboard, and open the menu:
Press the collaborators option, and a window will open that shows the list of collaborators and icons next to their name. Grey icons indicate the possible roles that each user can be assigned, and blue icons indicate their current role with the story.
(Note that not all plans support individually assigning collaborators the 'View' role on stories. In these case, only the options of "Own' and 'Edit' will be shown.)
Click the star-shaped icon (for Edit) next to the name of the collaborator you would like to make the new story owner. You'll be shown a message asking to confirm your choice.
This will transfer the ownership of the story to them and your status on the story will change to that of an editor. The new owner of the story will now have the ability to not only edit the story, but also to control who in the team has access to it. A story can only have one owner at a time, so once you assign ownership to another team member, you will no longer be able to control viewers, editors or owners for that story, as those rights will belong to the new owner.
