# Transfer ownership of an extension
1212

1313
As an extension developer, you can seamlessly transfer ownership of your Microsoft Edge extension to another party. Transferring ownership of an extension can be essential for various reasons, such as organizational changes, project handovers, or streamlining management processes. Your Microsoft Edge extension can continue to thrive under new ownership without any disruptions.

## Update the extension after ownership transfer
63+
64+
After the ownership transfer, the new owner should publish an update of the extension promptly, to ensure that accurate and up-to-date information is displayed.
65+
66+
Changes to the following fields of the extension's listing don't automatically appear in the Microsoft Edge Add-ons site when the ownership is transferred:
67+
* Description.
68+
* Screenshots.
69+
* Privacy policy URL.
70+
* Owner name.
71+
* Website link.
72+
73+
These updates are reflected after the new owner publishes an extension update. Until the extension is updated, the previous owner's information remains visible to users.
74+
75+
After the ownership of an extension has been successfully transferred, the new owner gains full control over the extension's listing and updates.
