Description

Use case

Restoring a library from a ZIP file containing a single component with these versions:

  • Version 9 – Draft

Actual result after restoring:

  • Version 9 – Published

This is unexpected. The restored library should mirror exactly the version statuses present in the ZIP file. Instead, the published/draft states are being flipped during the restore process.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the ZIP restore case with a library containing one component and a Draft Version 9, then locate the library backup and restore entry point. Trace how version status is handled during restore; done means the restored version remains Draft and matches the status recorded in the ZIP.
