Should prompt if importing an external gist that's already been imported before
Description:
Right now, if you import a gist via the import field three times, this will appear as 3 separate gists locally. This should go through the same pipeline as the opening your own gist goes through where it checks to see if it exists locally first.
Additionally, if a user imports their own gist while not signed in, then signs in, they should be able to update that gist.
Actually, moving it up a bit to "polish", since it seems like this could get quite confusing/annoying (I, for one, often copy-paste the GUIDs of my snippets rather than use the list).
Also, we had actually announced improvements to this space in https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/office/blogs/announcing-script-lab-improvements/ a year ago. So we shouldn't make the experience less good (or at least, not for long)
@nico-bellante, yes. See the blog mentioned above, or just try it out. Essentially for each snippet, we store what its original source (Gist + userid) and ID (gist ID) was, and if you import it again, we prompt you.
Obsolete.
It's easier to have a clear boundary between internal and external.
We will always make a copy for a new import.
