[Bug]: Not possible to restore .affine files

[rightsaidfred99]

What happened?

a) there is zero documentation on this issue
b) the only internet post is some redditor saying there is an "import workspace" but this does not exist.

I have exported a workspace it saves Workspace_3109283719 etc etc..affine but there is no way to restore.

Docs talks about postgress dumps and imports but not about affine files

Ok, so it seems the import is only in the desktop app, not web UI. That's cleared up.

However upon importing the affine data it said that the file was not valid, sadly.

I rebuilt docker, did another backup / restore test and that did work so maybe i got unlucky with corruption on my first go.

Anyhow, end of the day maybe the docs need updating to show the backup restore feature via the UI. It is confusing as a new user
