Changing Channel from private
Hi, so after searching I cannot find the answer to this. I've created a team that will have channels in it representing different projects. I've made one channel private so that I can choose which...
- Apr 11, 2020You can transfer any collaborated documents from one library to another, easily enough. But AFAIK you cannot transfer text chats.
If you REALLY need to retain the chat, the admin can download all Team chats in a CSV that you could cut down to just include chat from this channel and share it as an Excel file. Not quite as usable but at least the info and discussion isn't lost.
Alternatively, screenshot the messages you need to retain, or somehow look at retaining the channel but locking it to further discussion.

This has caused me more trouble than I expected. I'm still fairly new to Teams and SharePoint admin so maybe and there is a workaround.
Seeing as I can now NOT turn my private channel (proj1) back to public, I've had to create a new Team with a new channel called proj1. Ideally I need to move all the contents from the private channel in the other team into this new team/channel so I can continue to work with the relevant permissions/members applied.
Can anyone please advise on this?
