Converting Macro to VXI File or Alteryx Tool

Question

Hello Everyone,

I have created a macro to perform certain steps in the existing data, I want to deploy this to team by creating a drag and drop tool instead of sharing the workflow.

is there any way I could convert my macro into Alteryx tool.I guess converting to VXI files does meet my requirement if yes could anyone help me how to achieve this

We usually use the honor system. If you didnt make the macro, dont make changes to the macro or else you get publicly shamed in the group. :)

Beyond that, if you have the ability to set file or folder level security, you can set your security level to Full Control and give everyone else Read & Execute but not Modify.

If you dont have the ability to set permissions, im sure your IT would be able to assist with creating a folder with those settings.

Do you all have a common network location you can access? If you save the macro to a network location and you and the others add that location as a macro path, it will show up in your tool pallet where you can drag and drop in onto your own workflows. Thats how my group usually shares macros.
