Description
Reproduce error
1. Write a post in Google Docs
2. Open the extension and import post to WP
3. Open your U/I on WP.com and permanently delete the post
4. Go back to Docs, open the extension. Click "update"
5. See the error in the bottom banner that reads "unknown post"
Feature option -> add a "create new post" button instead of just having an "update" button. You can't update a post that is deleted, and unfortunately, that is the only option the extension gives the user after the importing the post once.

Research direction
Reproduce the Google Docs extension workflow by importing a post to WordPress.com, permanently deleting it, and clicking "update". Trace the update action and the bottom-banner "unknown post" error, then define the new-post option's behavior for a deleted post. Done means the extension offers a way to create a new WordPress post instead of only updating the missing one.
