--- ## Default sharing Each user in a Pro team can configure default sharing settings for the projects and components they create. Navigate to **My account** > **Preferences** > **General** and then **Default sharing.** In this section, simply select which sharing permissions you would like to be granted automatically when creating a project or component. [](https://help.easy-pv.co.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2026-07/ngJh4VsovICRPUbH-defaultpermissons.gif)**Note**: This will only apply to *new* projects and components. If you would like to share old projects or components, see below for instructions on manual sharing.
--- ## Manual sharing If you would not like projects or components to share by default, you also have the option to share individual projects or components manually. You will also have the option to transfer ownership to another user when sharing manually.**Note**: You can only configure sharing permissions on projects and components you own or have manage access to.
