Update prior year data in present file

Question is how to adjust a present Desktop 2022 return to the proper prior year data?

 

Background:   For 2021, we had to run scenarios of Married Filing Jointly vs. Filing Separately.   We ended up filing separately.   For 2022, I started with the Joint file of 2021 - run the analysis, then used that file to create the Separate tax files.   Again this year, the filing separately is the better path.   But now, in each Separate file, the comparison to prior year is showing the 2021 Joint scenario.   How to do I take these completed separate files and pull in the right Separate file data from 2021?

 

2nd question:   Once you tell me the only way is to start from the original separate 2021 files - then is there a way to export all the 2022 data (W-2s, 1099s, etc.) and import them back into the new file?
