Exported a Local Site as a ZIP:  
a. Can only export with local site up and running  
b. I noticed there is a “conf-backup” folder whilst running - see #5 below

Later decide I need to revert / rollback to this ZIP.

1. delete existing site  
(2. realized there is a new Local v5.2.3 and upgrade)
2. Drag & drop zip on empty Local app
3. Encounter “Error: site already exists” (around file 23/24)
4. Open ZIP file and delete folder “conf-backup” (lucky guess based on #4)
5. Problem solved - site imported successfully now

BTW: this is an amazing product, keep it up please! Like the Notes, not sure I can edit it later or make the font smaller?
