How to Transfer a Notion Site Without Losing URLs

Notion sites can’t be moved to a new workspace without new URLs. Transfer ownership within the same workspace to keep links intact.

Transferring a Notion site to a completely different workspace or account is not officially supported. Notion URLs are tied to the workspace and the unique page IDs, so moving pages to a new workspace will generate new URLs, breaking all existing links and potentially affecting SEO.

However, there is a workaround that allows you to keep your URLs intact while giving control to a new account.

Step-by-Step: Giving the Site to a New Account

Invite the New Account

  • Go to Account Name located in the upper left corner of your Current Notion Workspace

  • Choose Invite Members

  • Invite the new account as Admin

  • They must accept the invite first

Promote to Workspace Owner

  • In the same workspace members list, go to Settings

  • Click Teamspaces

  • Change their role to Workspace Owner

  • Confirm the change

  • ✅ Now they control the workspace — including all pages, billing, and permissions

Remove the Old Owner (Optional)

  • After confirming that the new account can access everything:

    • Go to Members → select old account → remove them (this needs a business plan to modify the roles)

  • ⚠️ Only do this after ownership transfer is confirmed

If you really want to move it to a different workspace, you have to duplicate the notion site and follow the instructions on this link: Move and Duplicate Content

Important Notes

  • You cannot remove the old owner before making the new account a Workspace Owner — Notion won’t allow it

  • The new account automatically gets all pages, including the site once they are Workspace Owner

  • Placement in a Teamspace is not required to “give” the site — it just helps organize pages
