    ### Versions


    When the API changes in a way that isn''t compatible with older versions, a new version is released.

    Each version is identified by its release date, e.g. `2025-04-10`. For more information, please see [Clerk API Versions](https://clerk.com/docs/versioning/available-versions).

    The high-level flow for application transfer:


    1. The initial workspace can create an application transfer. A single-use `code` will be generated which may be distributed to any end-user of Clerk.

    2. The code must be claimed through the clerk dashboard: https://dashboard.clerk.com/apps/transfer?code=<...>


    Note that once a transfer is claimed, the original workspace will no longer have access to the application.'
