What file extension is used for saving macros in Alteryx?

In Alteryx, macros are saved with the file extension .yxmc. This extension specifically identifies the file as a macro, which is a reusable collection of workflows that can be incorporated into other workflows to automate complex processes or enhance functionality. By saving a macro with this unique extension, Alteryx can recognize it and provide the necessary tools and options to utilize the macro effectively within the Designer environment.

When working with macros, the .yxmc extension differentiates it from other file types, such as standard Alteryx workflows (.yxmd) or other data file formats. Each designation serves a purpose in the Alteryx ecosystem, ensuring that users can properly manage their assets and reuse components across projects efficiently. Understanding the correct file extension is critical for organizing and optimizing workflow processes within Alteryx.
