Can't upload .yxmd files to my Cloud Designer trial license

Hi folks,

I got an Alteryx 30-day trial license and tried to upload an .yxmd file to it by going to Library → All Assets → Upload → Designer Cloud → and then selecting my flow file. I'm getting a "Failed to Upload" error since yesterday, and wonder what this is. Can't we upload flows to the trial license, just create new flows?

Thanks for any clarification on this!

That's correct - you cannot upload Designer Desktop .yxmd files and "translate" it to Designer Cloud. Cloud uses .json

Thanks! Is there a recommended way to transform my yxmd flow into json?

There is not a current migration tool - you'll have to just recreate it in Designer Cloud.

Thanks! It is, however, possible to already export an Alteryx flow to json instead of to yxmd, correct? Thanks!

I do not think so, no. If you figure it out, it would be a gamechanger!

Thanks for clarifying this!
