To transfer the ST hub from your account to a new user, In the ST app, open the hub, tap on 3 dots and select Edit… at the bottom of that screen. note: for this to work, any custom driver channels you have subscribed to need to be un-enrolled. keep a list and give to owner to install under them.
As our Hub Everywhere strategy continues to grow and make SmartThings hub technology more available than ever before, the need for customers to use the hub of their choosing is more important than ever. To help with this, we are excited to announce the release of our new Hub Replace feature. Hub Replace enables users to transfer everything from their current hub to a new one without having to manually reconnect each device or recreate Routines.

Been a awhile but I had to find some edge drivers, how are these handled now?
Not a large system but if any export/import or can a backup be made, then restore under a new owner?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
