Change Course Issuer in Canvas Credentials

With the decommissioning of the personal platform, our institution has decided to roll out the subscribed version of Canvas credentials.  The most pressing issue that I have now is that my currently running courses are associated with my personal issuer.  And, I would like to simply reassociate them with my institutional issuer (same email) to start immediately awarding the badges under my institutional issuer instead of my personal one. I have already created the new badges under my institutional issuer.

But, I can't seem to find a way to do that.  The badges that load in Canvas by default are associated with my personal issuer and I can't seem to find a way to change the issuer associated with the course.

Honestly, I think it would be helpful to just have a step-by-step guide that is called something like, "Migrating from a Personal Account to a Paid Account" that includes most of the common steps required to move all of your stuff to the other account.  Since, it seems quite likely that many personal accounts wouldn't just upgrade to paid accounts, they would become participants in an institutional plan, moving forward.
