How can you include a macro file in an existing workflow when sharing with others?

When sharing a workflow that includes a macro, exporting the workflow as a .yxzp file is effective because this file format packages the workflow along with any dependent macros, tools, and queries into a single, shareable file. This means that anyone receiving the .yxzp file will have all the components necessary for the workflow to run correctly, including the embedded macro. The .yxzp file serves as a compressed format that preserves the entire structure and relationships of the workflow, ensuring that it functions as intended when opened by another user in their own Alteryx environment.

While other methods like saving the workflow to the Gallery or embedding the macro directly into the workflow have their uses, they may not be as universally accessible or straightforward as exporting to a .yxzp file, especially if the recipient does not have access to the same Gallery or setup. Converting the macro into a Python script may complicate the workflow by introducing additional steps or dependencies that might not be easily maintained.
