## Distinguish new data connector imports from duplicates

Some of the files your users import from a connected account may already be in the platform from an earlier import. You can now show accurate counts, such as "3 imported, 2 already added," instead of treating every file as new.

Each item returned by the [Import files](/v1.3/api-reference/data-connectors/imports/import-files) and [Retrieve an import](/v1.3/api-reference/data-connectors/imports/retrieve-an-import) methods now includes a field named `action` that indicates the outcome of the import operation. Previously, a file skipped as a duplicate was indistinguishable from a new import while it was processing, because both showed the `processing` status. Imports created before this release do not include the `action` field. For details on its possible values, see the [Item actions](/v1.3/api-reference/data-connectors/imports/the-import-object#item-actions) section on **The import object** page.
