Where are Collaboration Conversations in an analysis stored in Spotfire?

Keywords: Spotfire; collaboration conversations; analysis

When collaboration conversations are added to an analysis, these conversations are stored in an XML file within the DXP. Using a compression utility like 7-zip, open the DXP as an archive. The conversations are located in the /Bookmarks directory as XML files. The XML files are not named intuitively, but they would show the modified date of when the conversation was created.

The XML file contains the text used as well as information regarding the user, analysis, and data tables:
