# How-to: Changing Your Email

## Overview

You can't directly edit the email of an existing user in Hireflix. Instead, add the new email as a new user, then transfer account ownership to that user — this keeps all your company data, interviews, and settings intact.

## Summary

1. Add the new email as a user.
2. Log in with the new email and accept the invite.
3. Log out from the new user and log back in as the current owner.
4. Transfer ownership to the new user.
5. (Optional) Remove the old user.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Invite the new email">
    Go to [**Account > Team Management**](https://admin.hireflix.com/en/my-account/team-management) and click **Add member**. Invite the new email address you want to use.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Log back in as the owner">
    After confirming the new user is active, log out from that new user and log back in with the current owner account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Transfer ownership">
    While logged in as the owner, go to **Account > Team Management**. Click **Transfer ownership**.

    <Warning>
      Only the owner can see and use the **Transfer ownership** action.

## What happens when you change your email

Changing your email this way doesn't affect any data or settings in your Hireflix account. All interviews, templates, team members, and integrations remain exactly as they were. The only thing that changes is your login email.
