delete all browses

[s_graham]

It would be great if functionality to delete all browses could be added. when building workflows I am often using many browses all over to understand the full population of data and how it is impacted by transformations. however once it is built i would love to be able to delete all of these so that it speeds up the workflow and reduces the cache needs.

There is not a delete all browses that I am aware of, but there is a “disable all browse tools” option in the runtime tab of the workflow configuration! At least this will help with runtime, and will also have the benefit of not having to replace all of the Browse tools if needed :)

Hi @s_graham,

You can disable all browse tools like this:

I am sorry but it seems not work for your purpose.
There is a function "Find and Replace"

We can search for "Browse" then all the Browse Tools can be highlighed, then right click to delete.

This is kind of a nuclear option, but it does what you want. Ill go ahead and say I havent rigorously tested this, but it seems to work so far so use at your own risk.

Work flows are xml, so we can use a macro to open the workbook and look through the xml for browse tools.

Remove the nodes associated with the browse tools and then resave.
