Hey Creators,
Over a year ago, we launched a paid, manual process to transfer your experiences from your user account to a group you own. We are incredibly excited to announce that this is now free and accessible from Creator Hub for everyone, and we are re-imbursing everyone who paid for the manual transfer! Additionally, we have launched the Group Activity Tracker - a place to track what your collaborators are doing within your Group. Let’s dive into the details.
As a reminder, Groups are now the way to manage your collaborations across Creator Hub and Studio, whilst Communities are the way to engage and grow your community.
Experience Ownership Transfer
You can now transfer experiences you own on your Roblox account to a Group where you have ‘publish experience’ permission. To begin the process, you simply go to your experience settings, and choose to initiate an ownership transfer request.
Once you have sent off a transfer request, the group owner will receive an email and notification on Creator Hub to review the request. You can also directly share the experience overview page with them. They can then review the request, and either accept or reject it.
There are multiple prerequisites, you will need to review when transferring your experience to a group, as an experience has many interdependencies. Next year, we will continue to make this system more streamlined (for example, improved handling of private assets), but in the meantime, you must read the notices throughout the process, and understand the implications. You can read the documentation to learn how to prepare your experience for ownership transfer and what prerequisites exist.
As mentioned above, this will replace the manual process we have been running for over a year. Many of you paid for this service, and as the feature is now free for creators, we wanted to spread a bit of early holiday cheer - everyone who used the manual process will be fully reimbursed! You should see the Robux returned by mid-January at the latest.
Group Activity Tracker
Once you have your experience in your Group, you can more easily add collaborators. We have also added features to make it easier to track those collaborators for visibility and safety!
We have overhauled the Group Audit Log, pulling the creator-related actions into the new Activity Tracker in Creator Hub. This is where you can see actions your collaborators are making to your group - such as updating or assigning a role. You can also provide permission to roles within your Group to view the Activity Tracker. The Activity Tracker will show events from 1:30pm PT 4th December 2024 onwards, as that is when the system was enabled.
You’ll notice actions such as an experience being edited will not appear in the Group Activity Tracker - instead, they will continue to appear in that experience’s Activity Tracker. This is a space for actions directly affecting your Group, such as revenue or profile changes, or new assets being uploaded. More of these events will be added early next year.
What’s Next?
Headed into next year, there’s a lot in our plans! For ownership transfer, we want to continue to open this feature - we’re investigating the viability of group-to-group transfers, as well as transfers of other types of content. A key focus first here will be making the existing transfer process increasingly streamlined, however - for example, handling private assets such as animations.
For the overall Groups product, we are focused on more permissions, per-experience permissions, and support for larger teams and studios who want a richer hierarchy reflected in their groups.
As always, a big thank you from the team to everyone for your continued feedback. Please continue to let us know what you want to see next!
Happy holidays,
Creator Success
