Hi, I exported some notes as .apkg file and they can’t be read… Actually since I have tried importing other .apkg files / decks with the same negative result. Tried on my laptop too. Grateful for any help. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/d/4/d4a8d32aabc30391e14274bf0c29edf8d5655a5f.png) Version ⁨23.12.1 (1a1d4d54)⁩ Python 3.9.15 Qt 6.5.3 PyQt 6.5.3 ---
