Loss of data related to layers after archiving

Summary

Hello,

While archiving my data in UEFN, I was surprised to find that all assets linked to my data layers (such as building structures, props, etc.) were lost. This is a significant issue for my project, and I’m trying to understand what might have caused this loss.

For context, in my editor, the layers were unloaded. Additionally, I use a cinematic device to display the layers, which means that by default, all layers are unloaded during gameplay. I had previously performed backups, and all my data linked to the layers was successfully saved. However, during the most recent archiving process, everything was lost.

Could this issue be related to the layers being unloaded, or is it caused by something else during the archiving process? I would greatly appreciate any explanation or advice on how to prevent this issue from happening in the future.

Thank you in advance for your help!
