Transfer a survey and the associated hosted feature layer data from one organization to another in ArcGIS Online

Summary

In some instances, it is required to transfer a published survey and the associated hosted feature layer data from one organization to another. However, this cannot be achieved directly within ArcGIS Online. This article provides a workaround on how to transfer a survey and the associated hosted feature layer data created in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect from one ArcGIS Online organization to another by exporting the survey from the first organization, and republishing it in the second organization.

Note:
Only the survey's owner can perform the workflow.
