bringing .aphoto layer files into a C1 session?

First I'm relatively new to C1 and using it in my workflow. Yes I'm probably doing things wrong.

I create a session for each project and import the raw files into that. Then I export my selects out to another folder (not associated with C1) and work on them in Affinity creating .aphoto files (with many layers and composite work). When I'm done I would like to import those files back into my session's select folder to keep everything together for archival saving.

My question is, how do I do this when I try and point the importing dialog to the folder with .aphoto files nothing shows up. In the past I've just drugged the files over, but then I can't use C1 to look through them. Can .aphoto files be imported into a C1 session? Is there a tutorial video that speaks to this, I've looked but obviously have missed it?

Any insights or help will be very appreciated.

thanks,
Jeff

  I use Affinity Photo occasionally rather than as a matter of course. But what I do if I want to use it (perhaps for more retouching than Capture One can manage) is that I do as much as possible of my edit in Capture One (white balance, exposure, saturation, etc, etc). Then I use the Edit with command to put a TIFF file into Affinity Photo and do what I need to do in Affinity. If I want to save the .afphoto file, I just save it directly into my Selects folder. Why use another folder at all?
  
  But no, Capture One can't display the .afphoto file.

  To do round trip editing between C1 and Affinity Photo, first go to the General section in Affinity preferences and make sure that 'Enable "save" over imported PSD files' is enabled (checked).
  
  In C1, do an 'Edit With', but select PSD as the file type (not TIFF). When finished editing in AF, simply do a 'Save' in AF, and the edited PSD file will be available back in C1 and you can continue editing in C1. You can also save the .afphoto file somewhere, but that's a file format specific file Serif apps, so C1 can't read it.
