Description

As discussed in #5735, saving as a bundle should be accessed via a separate item in the File menu. This makes more sense given the current behavior of the feature (saved bundles aren't updated when the file is saved normally after exporting a bundle). It's worth considering if this feature should use "export" in the name, to make it's behavior extra clear.

Research direction

Read the discussion in #5735 and inspect the current bundle-saving action in the File menu. Separate bundle saving into its own menu item, consider whether it should be labeled as an export, and verify that the action clearly reflects the bundle's save behavior.
