Documentation Bug/Error

Description

The documentation for restoring from a backup (https://actualbudget.org/docs/backup-restore/restore) shows a screen shot and specifies:

Close your current budget by clicking on the budget name in the top left corner of the screen and choosing the option to close the budget file.

(emphasis added).

In v26.3.0, there is no option "Close file". The option "Switch file" will close the current file:
