In this brief tutorial, learn how to add your personal gmail account as an editor to your existing student Google Site, create a duplicate of site, and ultimately, transfer ownership.

Once you graduate or leave Dominican, your Dominican Gmail account will be shut down by the IT department after 120 days.

To ensure you have your Google Site after graduation or if you leave Dominican, make a copy of your Site and transfer ownership to a personal Gmail Account. 

1) Open your Digital Portfolio and click on "Share with Others" (icon w/ plus sign)

2) Add the personal email address in 'invite people' box. Make sure they 'can edit' portfolio. Check the 'notify people' and 'prevent editors...' boxes. Then press send. 

3) After pressing send on step 2, an "Are You Sure?" box will pop up. Click YES. 

4) Go to personal gmail account and open email > Click 'OPEN'

5) The digital portfolio will pop up through your personal gmail account

> Click the 3 vertical dots, next to publish

> Click on 'Duplicate Site'

6) When the 'duplicate site' box pops up: 

> Change the file name if desired

> Change the folder location of site

> Check the sharing box if desired

> Click 'Duplicate' when done

7) After clicking 'Duplicate',

> A black bar will pop up at the bottom of the page that says "Copy started. Check your email for updates."

8) Go back to personal gmail.

> You should receive an email that lets you know a copy of the DP is in progress

> After a minute or so, you should receive another email letting you know the copy of the DP is ready

9) Open the email that says "Your copy is ready."

> Click on the copy of your digital portfolio

> Once you click on it, your digital portfolio should open

10) After the site opens, 

> Click on 'Share With Others' (icon with plus sign) 

> Double check that it says your personal gmail address is the owner. 

> Invite people to new site as needed. 

> Check the box that says "prevent editors..." 

> Click 'DONE' when you're done. 

Now you have successfully transferred Google Site to your alternate account.
