title: Converting Private Workspace to Public workspace
body: <p>In TFS 2012 there is a new feature <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/granth/archive/2009/11/08/tfs2010-public-workspaces.aspx" rel="nofollow">Public workspace</a>. If public workspace is created then it is accessible by all users. I want to know can I convert the private workspace to public workspace?</p>
  
  <p>In my environment there are so many developers and only some developers have permission for checkin. So after developer does all the changes he creates shelveset and share with with developer who checkin the files.</p>
  
  <p>Now I am planning that developers create a private workspace and after he has done all the changes he converts it to public workspace and the another developer who has checkin permission does the checkin. Reason for not creating public workspace in the beginning is that there are so many developers with lot of workspaces . So in solution explorer shows more than 100s of workspaces.It's difficult to select from the list and also there is risk that one developers changes code of another workspace by mistake. So I am planning to convert the private workspace to public when required to checkin and after checkin workspace is deleted. So is there  any method to convert the private workspace to public workspace?</p>
