DV Workbook is saved in MyFolder when it is imported

Question

Hi,

I was trying to import a workbook from different instance. I exported from the Source OAC instance, and imported in different OAC instance. Folder Structure is same in both OAC instances and permissions are also same. However, workbook is imported into My Folders not to the other folder where it was saved on source instance. Is there any way to import the workbook to the same folder where it was on source instance when folder structure is same?

Yes, we noticed that. It is being saved in My Folders, so thought of checking here that is there any option to save in Shared Folders directly. I have raised a suggestion on Idea, if you like this idea, please vote.

Currently, when using import option for a DV workbook, it saves in My Folders only in catalog. One need to use share workbook option after the importer verifies that everything works as expected and workbook is placed in shared folders. By default, there is no option available to place it in specific path in Shared Folders in catalog.

Please refer below document for more details on Share Workbook option:
