How can I retain my Atlassian Community profile and contribution history when leaving my employer?

Hi Community,

I'm hoping someone can clarify the best approach here.

I'm about to leave my current employer, but I've been an active member of the Atlassian Community for quite a while and have built up a history of posts, answers, badges, and contributions that I'd like to retain.

My Community account is currently associated with my work email address. What is the recommended process to ensure I keep access to my Community profile and all associated history after I leave the company?

Can the email address on the account be changed to a personal email while retaining all Community contributions, badges, ranks, and achievements?

Has anyone gone through this process before, and are there any pitfalls I should be aware of before my company disables my account?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi @Biancha ,
Go to account.atlassian.com → swap your work email for a personal one → verify it → done. All your Community contributions stay with you. Just do it before your work email gets deactivated.

URL:- https://account.atlassian.com/

If you're still having any issues, please get in touch with us.
