Allow 'Save to Roblox' from local file

I want to be able to save a local file to Roblox so I can use datastores without having to publish the place. This is needed for when studio crashes and you need to use the local autosave, datastores will fail because the place needs to be published/saved to Roblox for them to be enabled. Right now, I have to publish the autosave file, close studio, go to the site and revert the version, then reopen studio

Save to Roblox button is disabled

You can also use game:SetUniverseId(gameId) and game:SetPlaceId(placeId) from the command bar or a plugin to access datastores from a local file without publishing.

edit: only SetPlaceId is necessary for datastore access.
