Description

I wonder: What will happen if I connect to a different Bitcoin Core instance?
Is this bad? Will Specter complain? Or will it just add the wallets there? Will I lose labels? etc...

The answer could go the FAQ or the UI, not sure.

edit: This is also relevant to backups. What should I backup as a user?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by clarifying the expected behavior when connecting to another Bitcoin Core instance, including wallet and label handling, then determine whether the result belongs in the FAQ, the UI, or backup guidance. Done means the user-facing behavior and backup requirements are documented or specified.
