TLDR under text: In the most basic: I am creating something on Figma Make, I downloaded each file and folder to create a backup of my work as I was entering a implementation stage. I had to do this manually as I could not see nay method to 1 click make a backup or multi select files folder and download. now what I was worried about happened, I need to over write the code tree with backed up files and folders and nowhere can I see import, i cant even drag and drop the files in as it says not recognized format. so I have been opening each file deleting old code and pasting back in from my backup variant. slow as heck, the other thing I could not find is a ftp access way to do this and when i search all I get back is PDF info.

so does anyone know how I can save myself all the time from copy past and just upload and over right file for file or how to use a ftp on figma (i know how to ftp but need connection details to my project)
or how to make a backup so I am not stuck doing this again? honestly when working with code its normal practice to have access to backup/restore in your coding screen, no the AI is not of help here as it states it does not see figma site or know how to do what i want. please make sure any help is with direct knowledge for the figma make not one of its other products as they may differ.

TLDR:

1, couldn't find backup option in make → manually downloaded files / folders and saved on my P.C.

2, made big mistake on project

3, wanted to over write fig,a local files with know working backup.

4, no system I can see to restore from my downloaded backup, no ftp, no drag and drop, no upload.

5, manually over writing each file via copy / paste (AI is to slow and there are a lot of files total)

6, suggestions only for Figma Make not other tools / products.

7, is there a way to make a full backup of files and folders so it can be restored in Make

8, this is an education experiment for I.T, can a untrained person make it and learn.

9 this is not a free account.

thank you in advance
