I connect Excel file as database and save the session as global session and do read/write operation it works fine but the problem arise where when I pass the global session into the child bot and do the same operation of read/write on the same global session (parent bot db connection session) it does not work why???

I want solution for this, and anyone can explain it why this happened?

    ​@anubhav_aj Using Excel as a database is a fragile balancing act. That's why we don't recommend using Excel as a database here. If you got it working in one bot, leave your actions there. Do not try to pass the session to a child not. Centralize your DB calls in one bot and call it a day.
