Issue/question: encrypted notebooks prevents option `Import Data`

I get following error:refuse to overwrite existing encrypted notebook [20260816201xxx-xxx] v3.8.7, when trying the option: Settings>App>Import Data (workspace data).

What is the current best fix to deal with this issue?:

  • Do i manually unlock encrypted notebook and delete it before importing data?
  • Do i disable option: Settings>Authentication> uncheck feature toggle

      This message means the workspace already contains an encrypted notebook with the same ID, so SiYuan blocks the import to protect your existing data.

      Please create a new workspace, import the Data.zip there, and unlock the imported notebook with its original master password. You don’t need to delete the existing notebook or disable encryption. Simply unlocking it won’t resolve the conflict.
