What happens to boards I created and shared with my team?

Boards you created will be permanently deleted along with your account unless you transfer ownership to another team member before deletion. Make sure to transfer important shared boards first.

Do I need to be the account owner to delete my account?

No. Regular team members can delete their own accounts without special permissions. However, if you are the account owner, you must transfer ownership to another admin before you can delete your account.

What happens to my comments and updates on shared boards?

Your comments and updates on boards you don't own may remain visible after deletion, but will be attributed to 'Former Member' instead of your name.

Can I delete my account from the mobile app?

While you can access some settings from the mobile app, it's recommended to use a desktop web browser for the complete account deletion process to ensure all options are properly displayed.

Will I receive a refund if I delete my paid account?

Refund policies depend on your subscription terms and when you cancel. Generally, Monday.com does not provide refunds for unused time. Contact billing support for specific questions about your account.

How do I export all my Monday.com data?

Monday.com requires manual export for each board. Open each board, click the menu, select 'More actions', then 'Export board to Excel'. For comprehensive backups including automations and integrations, consider using their API.

What happens to automations and integrations I set up?

All automations, integrations, and API connections associated with your account will immediately stop working when you delete your account. Make sure to update any external systems that depend on these connections.
