Transferring Studios to Another Host
Hi folks!
We’re back with another quick update to things we have been working on relating to studios. Thank you again to all those who have shared thoughtful and constructive feedback with us so far.
We have changed the name of the studio “creator” to be the studio “host”. We see studios as a space where Scratchers can come together to share projects, comments, and ideas around a specific theme. When a Scratcher creates a studio, they are creating a space for others to join them, and we think “host” is a great way to describe that relationship.
As we mentioned in our last update, we have been working on ways to transfer a studio to another Scratcher and are excited to release this today. This update allows studio hosts to transfer their studio to another manager in that studio. You can do this by clicking the three dots next to your username in the studio manager list.

Doing this will demote the current host of a studio and give the newly promoted manager all the special permissions of a studio host.This includes the ability to change the studio title, description, thumbnail, as well as the ability to delete the studio. If a studio needs to change hosts again in the future, the current host can promote another manager. Studios can only change hosts once per day.

The previous host will remain in the studio as a manager (meaning they no longer have the ability to edit the studio as the host or change the studio host, but they will still have all the regular manager permissions) and will have the ability to fully remove themselves from the studio should they wish to do so.
As always, stay tuned for more information as we will be sharing further updates in the future.
Scratch On!

This is a good idea. Could you add a way to have multiple hosts in a studio? It would be a lot easier than switching around every time someone wants to change something.

I feel like this is going to cause a lot of problems, especially with famous scratchers…

Ooh! This sounds like a good update! This will definitely lower some of the complaints that I've seen many people say, it even kind of solves the problem I find most annoying.

Cool! I really think this will help studios function properly even if the original owner is inactive
