How to convert a Tableau Packaged Workbook (twbx) to Tableau Workbook (twb)? [closed]

I am currently working with a Tableau Packaged Workbook and looking to convert it back to Tableau Workbook, i.e. the pure file without data extract in the file. I've tried to open up the file in Tableau, go to data source and select "live" connection instead of "Extract". The file size did decrease dramatically, but the file name extension didn't change, instead stayed as ".twbx" instead of ".twb". Can I just change it manually, will that mess up the file? Thanks!

BTW, I am using Tableau 9.0 Desktop.

Just found the answer. Actually, we need to open the twb file in Tableau desktop and then go to file - save as - save as type - Tableau Workbook.
