Hi,

 

How can I move bots (created by me) from the Public to Private folder?

    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    If you are the owner or have the required permissions, you can delete bots in the Public Folder as well.

    It isn't necessary to Check it Out to Private.

    You can try checking in an empty taskbot just to test it out.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Sorry, I'll give you the bigger picture.

    I create a bot in a private folder.

    I move the bot to a public folder.

    Now I would like to put this bot to private and delete it in public.

    In other words I would like to go back to the situation before I moved anything, anywhere.

    When I check out the bot from public to private can I delete the bot in the public folder?

    In other words, I would like to move them back without any "consequences" and have a clear public folder again.

    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    You can simply check it out from the Public Folder like so:

    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    Yes that works, but make sure that you really want to delete that bot because you can't recover it once deleted.

     

    You can test it out with an empty bot just to get a feel for it before trying it out on bots you actually want to perform that operation onto.

    Hi @Robert Ozog​ ,

     

    If you have Permissions to delete the bots in Public Workspace you can directly delete the bot no need to take it to Private.

    Looks like I cannot delete 😞

    imageSo far looks like moving the bot permanently back from the public to the private folder is impossible

    Looks simple, but there is not what I'm looking for as final result (moving all bots from Public to private back - without any bots in the public folder)

    When I da what you suggest I cannot check in bot again (from private to public)

     

    For some reason someone decide to keep this so complicated :)

    @Robert Ozog​ follow this:

    1. Clone bot from public to private
    2. Copy cloned bot from private to private
    3. Cancel checkout from private (if any)
    4. Delete bot from public
