# What's the difference between the Change Email and Transfer feature on Grip Manage?

## When updating a ticket, it's important to understand the distinction between Transfer and Change Email, as they serve different purposes.

### When to Use Each Option

#### **Transfer**

Use the **Transfer** option when the goal is to assign the ticket to a different person than the one who originally registered.

**Example:** You want to transfer ownership of a ticket from **Tim** to **John**. In this case, use **Transfer**.

#### **Change Email**

Use **Change Email** only to correct minor typos in the email address provided by the attendee.

**Example:** Correcting a typo from tim@grip.event to tim@grip.events.

### **Important Notes**

- Do **not** use **Change Email** to reassign ownership of a ticket.
- Use **Transfer** whenever the person associated with the ticket changes.

By following these guidelines, we ensure proper tracking and ownership of tickets in the system.
