Hello,

Whenever I try to import an .apkg file that I’ve exported previously, no decks are imported. The screen shows text that implies the deck has been imported (screenshot below), but when I look at the actual decks, there is no change. I tried importing it as “text separated by tabs or semicolons,” and “Packaged Anki Deck/Collection” but both of these options don’t work. I also tried renaming my .apkg file to a .zip file and then importing it, but that also didn’t work.
