Description

The current workflow:
1- Download project
2- Open the project
3- Make changes
4- Sync

is a bit confusing for most users. I suggest to have the following workflow:
1- Open project (which combines 1 & 2 from the above workflow).
2- Make changes
3- Save to server (which saves and syncs)

Alternatively, for step 3, we can have an option similar to https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input/issues/537

Research direction

The issue does not mention files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the plugin's current Download, Open, Make changes, and Sync workflow, then compare it with the proposed Open and Save to server workflow. Done means the user flow is simplified and the chosen save or sync behavior is consistent and verifiable.
