Please note :
As the kit manager, you cannot change the assignee's name from your end. Only the assignee themselves can update their name by modifying their personal MyHeritage account settings. This ensures that individuals maintain control over their own account information and display names.
When reassigning a DNA kit to a different person, all existing Theory of Family Relativity (TOFR) data will be permanently lost and cannot be recovered.
