Description
Starting point
I really enjoy the sand dance option to export as an hmtl on https://microsoft.github.io/SandDance/app/#, allowing one to retain everything in an easily shareable format, which includes snapshots, data, filtering, ... using local data
This can be achieved via:
- 📷 on sidebar > Snapshots > Create Snapshot dropdown 🔽 > Export As .. > html
Problem
If one notices an error in the html, it seems to be currently impossible to resume editing by restoring the Sand Dance session from the exported html.
The only way to keep editing is to keep the session alive and watch out to never refresh
Motivation
Adding this option would save a lot of time when scenarios such as the one above happen

Research direction
Start in the Sand Dance app at the Snapshots > Create Snapshot > Export As > html flow, then reproduce an exported HTML session using local data. Determine how that exported session could reopen in an editable state; done means users can restore editing while retaining snapshots, data, and filtering.
