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.
Hi, is that definitely correct about the private *channels* within a Group's Team chat, that it creates a whole separate site collection?
My understanding was that it creates a folder within that Group's SharePoint folders, just as it does when creating any channel, just protected and only accessible only by those invited users. That's how it seems to present it.
If so, this has implications in terms of internal governance. For reference, we have turned off the functionality that allows all staff to create Groups, but they can still create channels (or at least, the admins for those Groups can).
Thanks!
Exactly, it's an internal governance nightmare. Why my recommendation at our workplace is to block the option to create these (as we have with Groups without authorisation and clear ownership).
