Description

Importing multiple times now will result in duplicate URLs

Start by tracing the import flow for repeated imports and identify where URLs are added. Define whether existing URLs should be silently filtered or whether duplicates need a user prompt, then verify that importing the same URLs no longer creates duplicate entries.
