# Managing your workspace apps

> Keep your apps organized and under control. Group them into folders, share them with others, clone them as starting points for new projects, and manage the full lifecycle of everything you build.

The **Apps** page is your central hub for everything you build in Base44. Group apps into folders to keep your workspace tidy as your project list grows, share them with collaborators or external users, and manage the full lifecycle of each app from renaming and cloning through to deletion.

</Frame>

To move an app to a different workspace or transfer ownership to another collaborator, open the app itself and manage those actions from there.

## Searching and filtering your apps

Use the search bar and filters at the top of the Apps page to find exactly what you need. You can also switch between a grid view and a list view.

## Organizing your apps into folders

Group your apps into folders to keep your workspace organized. Folders are visible to everyone in your workspace. Apps that are in a folder no longer appear in the main apps list.

<Note>
  Each app can only be in one folder at a time.
</Note>

  * App transfers must be enabled in the current workspace.
  * The app cannot be a purchased app.
</Check>

## Transferring app ownership

App owners can transfer ownership of an app to another collaborator so the right person manages billing, permissions, and app settings. This is useful when responsibilities shift or when someone changes roles.

The new owner must accept the transfer by email before it takes effect.

<Check>
  **Before you begin:** The new owner must be a member of the workspace.
</Check>

<Warning>
  **Important:**

  * Only the current app owner can transfer ownership.
  * Both the current and new app owner must be on a **Builder** plan or higher. The app will follow the new owner's current plan limits and features.
  * If the new owner's plan does not support features already used in the app, those features may not work as expected.
  * After the transfer, all future edits, updates, and app usage use credits from the workspace the app belongs to.
  * Transferring ownership does not move the app between workspaces or change its visibility.
  * **Guests cannot own apps in a workspace.** If you want to transfer ownership to a Guest, either move the app to their own workspace first, or change their workspace role to Editor or Viewer before initiating the transfer.
</Warning>

**To transfer ownership of your app:**

1. Go to your app editor.
2. Click the **Invite collaborators** icon <Icon icon="circle-plus" /> at the top right.
3. Find the collaborator you want to transfer ownership to.
4. Click the **More Actions** icon <Icon icon="ellipsis" /> next to their name and click **Make app owner**.
5. Confirm the transfer details:
   * Select the checkbox to confirm that the selected person becomes the new owner, including all app data, media, and connected third-party services and accounts.
   * Select the **Disconnect integrations after transfer** checkbox if you want to remove existing external connections for security. The new owner can reconnect their own accounts after the transfer.
6. Click **Change Ownership**.
7. Ask the new owner to open the email from Base44 and click the confirmation link to accept the new ownership.

## Deleting an app

Remove an app from your workspace when you no longer need it.

<Warning>

</Warning>

### Deleting an app you don't own

Workspace owners and admins can delete any app in their workspace, even if they are not the app's creator.

When you delete an app you don't own, the delete dialog shows a warning with the app owner's email address. The app owner automatically receives an in-app notification and email letting them know their app was deleted and by whom.
