How can I change a post from private to public?

A long time ago I wrote a deeply personal post in public but grew increasingly insecure of it being exposed and changed it to private.

Now, much later, I’ve come to understand that in public form my story might help people in a similar situation.

How can I change it to public again? It says that that’s not allowed but this is strange. How can I request a feature to have this made possible? Or can a moderator help perhaps?

Poll: Should it be possible to make private posts public if they originally were public?

UPDATE: Thanks to administrator assistance my post has been restored. They explained, also, that due to privacy reasons my requested feature is unlikely to be implemented. I appreciate the quick and effective assistance, thank you. Case closed.

You'd have to copy and paste it into a new post. You can't undo the private settings.

@SW-User That’s what I feared, but then the myriad of helpful replies go to waste.

@Jennifer as long as you make a minor change to the new post, there's no need to delete the old. They can both stay on SW. And anyone you're following can already see it.

@SW-User I’ve been friending people to share it, indeed. But I’d much more like this simple thing be allowed. Is there a place to submit feature requests?

@Jennifer I don't think so but the ADMIN might have a more definitive answer.
