Everything is read-only after downgrade

Hello,
I'm looking for help on how to convert a large number of my files back to public. Here's the short story: I was on the free plan and saw an offer for a free six-month trial of the PRO plan, so I decided to try it out. I soon realized it wasn't worth the cost for what I'm doing, so I downgraded. However, during the trial, all my files were marked with the company name I provided, and when I downgraded, they all became read-only.
I discovered that I can manually go into each file, right-click, and select "Make Public," which works fine. However, I have hundreds of files, and even the files I uploaded before the trial began were also converted to this read-only status.
I've tried selecting multiple files at once and using the right-click menu, but I don't see an option to "Make Public" for multiple files at the same time.
What's the best way to convert all of these files back to public? Doing this one by one will take an excessive amount of time. Onshape (or the platform) should have a feature to handle this during the upgrade or downgrade process, instead of assuming these changes automatically.

Don't know of a batched way to do this. that would need onshape back end support probably.
The only tip I have is that you don't have to go into the document to share it.
right click on 1 document at a time → make public → share
because the document doesn't have to load, its probably rather quick that way…
Perhaps an AI agent can do this for you? Not sure if that capability is publickly available yet but may be a fun trial. let us know if it is!
