# Transfer a matter to another user

Transfer matter ownership to another user.

To transfer a matter to another user, contact BriefTech support at <support@brieftech.ai> — ownership transfer isn't available from the interface yet. In the meantime, you can [share the matter with the other user as an Editor](/how-to-guides/manage/share-matter-with-colleague.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Heads up:** Sharing as an Editor lets your colleague work on the documents as you do — upload, edit and delete them, build the Document Index and generate court bundles — but the matter itself stays yours: inviting or removing members, editing the matter's details, and archiving or restoring the matter are owner-only, and your colleague will not see those controls.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brieftech.ai/how-to-guides/manage/transfer-matter-to-another-user.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
