Change Channel from Private to Public

Is it possible to change the type of a Channel, from Private to Public?! Because I want to add a Channel as private, for testing it first, and then I want to change the state to Public, and I want to know if I can keep the same vanity code.

Thanks

  • When you are done testing your private channel, change the vanity code and name to something else, and submit the package as a public channel. Once the public channel has been published, you can publish an update to your private channel to direct users to the new public channel.

  • Ok, so isn't possible just to change a channel from "private" to "public", and to keep the same vanity code?!
  • I didn't say that, but it is a lot of work for us to do that. If you follow the method I described, you should be able to use your vanity code for the public channel, just change it for the private channel first.

  • OK, thanks. And should I use also a different DevID for "test" the Private Channel?
