Import the yxwv file for analytic app into Alteryx canvas

[hlee36]

Hi. 

I have to debug Alteryx workflow that was built into the Analytic App.

It will be burdensome to manually update the input files in the Canvas mode. 

I have a yxwv that has all the input files, that I run the Analytic App with.

Is there a way to import this yxwv into Alteryx Canvas to avoid manually updating all the input files, so I can debug it?

@hlee36  - If you are comfortable with XML bring it in with an input tool to a blank workflow as non-delimited text file and then once the XML is in Designer you can manipulate the file's code output it as a new YXWV (Or overwrite the original, at your own risk during testing... 😁)

I had done something like that to update database references (tables/fields) in existing workflows during an upgrade from on-prem database references to cloud database references.  I was able to bring in YXMD files, manipulate the XML and output them as YXMD files.  Same should be do-able for any Alteryx, XML-based file type.  I stress the SHOULD because I haven't actually done it on other file types yet.
