QUESTION / CONTEXTThis is a rough one.

IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- Make a complete backup of the network folder using SOLIDWORKS Pack and Go.
- Make a separate Pack and Go of your local assembly.
- Work only in a third “recovery” copy of the network folder.
- Open the recovery copy of the current network top-level assembly.
- Replace only the part files you intentionally modified locally.
- Same filename
- Same extension
- Preferably the same configurations and configuration names
