Hi there @iulhaq!

I responded to your other post about this topic:

Unable to import zip file of an existing project

Hello there, @iulhaq - thank you for bringing your question to the Local Community! That error message indicates that either a file is missing or cannot be located for some reason. To troubleshoot - are you able to export a site from Local & import it back in without an issue? Let’s start there! Sam

Let’s discuss in that thread to keep it all in one place so nothing gets lost.

Thank you,

Sam
