In short, you cannot change a volunteer email while their app account is open. Here is how you do it...

Use the below links to jump straight to the section you wish to learn about.

Close their app account

In the Volunteers section on the left-hand side, scroll or search to find the relevant volunteer. Press on their name to open their profile. Open the "App access" and then press "Remove Access".

Change the email

Now you can open their profile section and simply amend the volunteer email field to their new email.

Open the app account

Now open the "App access" section on their profile and then press "Set up access".

At this point, the volunteer will receive a welcome email to their new account with a new password.

However, if that volunteer has been active under their old email you may loose the activity pertaining to that volunteer. In this instance you may need to create a new volunteer profile with the new email account and close the old one. It is then also wise to make it clear that the old profile is no longer used but putting "OLD" in their last name.
