Moving an e-published document from one CC account to another

I work within a small team of 3 designers and I am going to be leaving the role in a couple of weeks time. I have some e-published documents linked to my CC account and this account might be closed (if they don't decide to fill my vacancy). The links to the e-pubs are used on many different platforms such as LMS, emails, PDFs etc so it would be very difficult to find them all and update them with new links. I wondered if there's a way of transferring the e-pub documents to one of my colleague's accounts without changing the link/URL?

You referred to PDFs, etc. I now see you meant that you embedded the URLs to the Publish Online documents.
So, to be clear, you'll need to update every one of them. I love the features of Publish Online and what you can do with them, but for me, it's a dealbreaker.
I use in5 to produce interactive HTML documents out of InDesign which can then be used locally or uploaded to a webserver.

You're mixing up a lot of things here. Any stand alone file (EPUB, PDF, INDD) can be opened by anyone with the proper software. Any Publish Online use will have to be republished by a new user if your account is canceled. There is no way to transfer it.

Thanks for your response. I'm not sure what I'm mixing up tbh, I know they can be opened by anyone with the proper software. I just wanted to know if they could be transferred which you have answered in the 2nd part of your comment, so thank you for that.
