How do I change my cohost to primary host?

[Brenda223]

I won't be hosting the space from now on; my co-host will take over.

However, I cannot find out how to change my cohost to primary host - help please!

 If you go to the menu, then click on the listing. You will need to go to booking settings and go down to management and click on cohost. You’ll be able to click on the cohost and select make primary host. And hit confirm.

Thanks For that, Does the new primary host get to keep all the reviews and ratings?

Thanks!

So if the current listing admin (current hosting company) added me for example, as a co-host can they then remove themselves, leaving me as the only profile owner?
I don't want to deactivate it, just change the person managing the profile/house listing

No. If they are the listing admin, they can remove you as a Co-host, but they are the listing owner.

and they cannot make anyone else the listing admin?

So I have set a listing up where I'm hosting it in my personal account & made the property owner co host. How do I change him to host & me to co host without starting up a whole new listing under their account & loose my superhost status & reviews please????

[Deborah1635]

you cant, I've been on a call with AirBnB who say you need to pull listing down and start again

If the account was setup with you as "Owner" then this is not possible. 

An owner or full access co-host can choose a "primary Host" for the listing. However, an "owner" can never be changed on a listing. The account should have been setup under the actual owner's name/profile. They can then choose you to show as primary host on the listing, but they will show as co/host to guests but always appear as listing owner.
