Im taking the Elasticsearch engineer course; The Elastic training team reissued my 30-day kibana license as it expired.  
It was suggested that i need to "export Saved objects" and then import the saved objects after the reissue.  
I did that, but I dont see all the indices that Ive created up until the license expired.  
Is there a way to restore all the indices without having me to redo all the labs.  
Thanks.

Unfortunately, importing saved objects only restores Kibana dashboards and visualizations. You will have to recreate the indices yourself.
