Hello Everyone,
I'm seeking your help!
When using the HELP/ABOUT option to encrypt a workflow/macro in Alteryx...
Thanks for your support in advance!

Hi @CoreyS
The Information Lab did a great write up on encrypting workflows/macros: https://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/2020/08/27/encrypting-your-alteryx-workflows-macros-apps/
Here is more info on it as well: https://help.alteryx.com/2018.2/ModuleEncryption.htm
The long and short of it is that macros and apps that are encrypted can still be ran by other users, but since they're encrypted they won't be able to open them and make any changes to the underlying workflow.
To my understanding, once a workflow is encrypted, it cannot be undone. I would recommend saving a non-encrypted backup version of your macro in case you need to make changes down the road.
Hope that helps!
Phil
Thanks for all the great information about encryption!
I'll review the documents and move foreword from there. I appreciate your help.
