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...
- You 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.
When you create a private channel in a Team/Group it creates a whole new separate SharePoint site for storage. Really not the point about Teams and Groups, where the entire thinking is Groups with different audiences.
Since you can't undo it, IMO you're best of not doing it and creating a new closed Group for this subset of the audience, to maintain logic and a sensible structure.
