Users may have many existing designs on the publishing platform, and recreating them in PubMan is tedious and a poor use of their time. Instead, we would rather automatically detect designs on the platform and prompt the user to import/merge them with the local designs list in PubMan.
For the Thingiverse platform, allow users to:
- Import designs from their profile into PubMan
- Merge a PubMan design with one already published to the platform
