The iPad is currently being used by our eldest daughter and I, as a father, manage the iPad via Family setup, so she is a member of our family. Now I want to assign her iPad to her youngest sister but keep all apps and purchases. I have also made our youngest daughter a member of the family. How can I make this change correctly?
A backup is made via iCloud+.
iPad (8th generation)
already figured it out via Google:
This worked for me. Signed out eldest daughter and signed in the youngest. All apps work with previous purchases.

Hi Chob1234,
If your eldest daughter signs out of the iPad, the apps associated with her Apple ID will be removed. If your eldest daughter is signed into another device (iPhone, Mac, or different iPad), you can use purchase sharing, which will allow your youngest daughter to download apps and play contents that your eldest daughter has associated with her Apple ID. There's more information on purchase sharing in these resources:
Family Sharing. Share your favorite things with your favorite people.
How to download apps and content that your family members purchased
When you set up purchase sharing, everyone in the group gets immediate access to the songs, albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps purchased by family members who choose to share them. New purchases appear in the Purchased tab in Apple Books, the App Store, or iTunes for each family member.
Regards.

Is this a very recent change, or just a (confusing to me) oversimplification? In the past apps were NOT removed if another person signed in, unless intentionally deleted. However, if there was a new ID on the device and an app needed updating or redownloading then it would not do so under the new ID. The new user would have to either buy them herself or perform the updates if the item is part of Family Sharing.
Chob1234: Note that typically you would follow these instructions before giving a device to a different user. It may be that MVegas's reply to you was assuming that. It is possible to do it without entirely erasing the device but that involves knowing exactly what you are doing. Even then, my comment about updating apps still applies.
But how can I sign out the eldest daughter on her iPad? Because she is 14 she is still a familymember and therefor she doesn't have access to her apple ID (settings > "NAME" (Apple ID, iCloud+ etc)), this part is greyed out so I can't sign her out.
iPad change owner > keeps apps and purchases
