### Why: Closes: The “About successors” link in the article “Maintaining ownership continuity of your personal account's repositories” currently points to an outdated path: `/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/about-successors` That path returns a 404. The correct destination appears to be the “About successors” section in the “Personal repository access and collaboration” article: `https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/access-to-repositories#about-successors` ### What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs): This PR updates the broken “About successors” link in the ownership continuity documentation. Before: [About successors](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/about-successors) After: [About successors](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/access-to-repositories#about-successors) Current affected page: `https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/repository-access-and-collaboration/maintaining-ownership-continuity-of-your-personal-accounts-repositories` Current destination: `/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-access-to-your-personal-repositories/about-successors` Proposed destination: `https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/access-to-repositories#about-successors` ### Check off the following: - [ ] A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR.
