Question:

Does the workflow owner change after the ownership transfer in PromoMats?

Answer:

No, the workflow owner does not change during a document ownership transfer. In order to change the workflow owner, please refer to the workarounds below.

If the document owner is also the workflow owner, please do not start any workflow before ownership transfer. This is because the new document owner can start a workflow directly once the ownership transfer is completed.

If a workflow is started and not completed, the workflow owner needs to cancel the active workflow before or after ownership transfer.  This is done in order for the new workflow owner, who is the new document owner, to start the workflow. 

If the document owner is not the workflow owner, ownership transfer does not impact the role assignment. The workflow owner can start a workflow once assigned the proper permission.
