Slack data import twice?

I’ve imported our existing Slack data into our new Rocket Chat installation and everything worked great. However, that was a few weeks ago and now there is a lot of new activity in the old Slack workspace I would like to transfer over.

My question: If I run the Slack data import again, will this overwrite the existing data in Rocket Chat? Or duplicate it?

Thanks in advance.

Should simply overwrite it and not duplicate it.

How about all the new messages we have on Rocket Chat since the first import? Will they be gone?

Nope, they will stay there

Thanks! I’m doing this tomorrow. I’ll give an update if it doesn’t go as planned.

Quick q related to this… What about with users? If you import users and then they update their password/profile settings, and then you reimport (update import), will those user accounts be overwritten/changes lost?
