My team currently all has PRO licenses and we have a report set up in a workspace already. We need the alerting function that is only available with Premium, so we are looking into upgrading a few accounts to PPU (instead of the whole organization which is a few thousand). My question has multiple parts:
1. If the owner of the current PRO workspace and the report (me) upgrades to PPU, will I be able to enable Alerts on that report? Or will I need to reecreate the report in a Premium workspace to have alerts?
2. If I have alerts enabled on the report, does that prohibit sharing to non-Premium accounts? What about a Premium workspace/report? Can those be shared to PRO accounts? And if not, can I still create reports under the PRO guise and share with my team?
I literally just want the alerting function, and I want everything else about my current report to stay the same and to be able to share with others who don't have PPU. Is that doable?
Thanks.

Hi @Rory_Langdon ,
Are these the alerts you are talking about:

They do not require a Premium Per User license. If you do have a PPU license, you can create a PPU workspace and share it with other PPU license holders. You cannot share content in a PPU workspace with Pro license users.

Somehow I thought I needed PPU to do that. Thank you!
