Tr: Issue assigning new brain GUID resolved #99511

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/99511

Hello Olivier,

Thank you for the update, and I’m glad to hear you were able to locate a backup of the Brain.

After reviewing this internally, the best and safest next step is to restore the Brain from the .brz backup you found. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way for us to recover the missing local Brain beyond that.

The Assign New GUID operation is inherently risky because it modifies nearly everything in a Brain in place. That’s why the app presents multiple warnings and confirmation checkboxes requiring backups before proceeding. In this case, restoring from the backup is the correct path forward. Best way to change a brain's GUID is to create a new brain then import your old brain into it.

Best regards,

John
