I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but is there any way to import a PGN file from another chess platform, say lichess for example, for the purposes of analysis and have it stay in your game database?
I know you can import PGN files for analysis in the learn tab, but once you run the analysis then close it, it goes away. I'm looking to have imported games stay in my database so I can go back to them if I need to.
not sure if there's any way to do this.

You can't add external games to your archive but you can load games into an Analysis Board and create a Library collection.

You know I just thought of an idea that just might have worked... Lol I imported the game into the analysis, (in this particular game the person had resigned). I then clicked continue against computer as the color I was playing, played 1 move then resigned. Then I saved it to archive

It worked but only on games that didn't end up in a checkmate or stalemate.

Yeah, saving the Bot game is one way but you don't get the game details that way.
