One-time import. Choose the backup file you downloaded with the rescue tool (safirizvi-backup-….json). Everything in it is added to this database. Only do this once — running it twice creates duplicates.

Use publisher names as filter tabs

Your old system only allowed six categories, so outlets like Indian Express and PPF were filed under the wrong tab. This copies each article’s publisher into its filter tab, so every outlet gets its own button. You can still change any individual one afterwards using Edit.

Tidy up dates

Any entry showing no date set could not be read during the import. This reads the old text date and fills in a proper one, so everything sorts correctly and displays in the same format. Safe to run more than once.
