 * I downloaded a list and edited it by hand.
 * Then when I uploaded it again, all the links were duplicated.
 * So, then I deleted the library and uploaded again.
 * Now I have 3 copies of everything (the original, and two with updated information).
 * Right now, I’m going to delete each and every link, one by one, and then re-upload
   the .csv again.
 * Is there a simpler way to update a batch of links?

 * There is not really an easier way at the moment. That being said, i could change
   the code of the importer so that if the URL is a match, it would update all fields
   in the link instead of creating a new one. Stay tuned.

 * Update to version 5.9.9.1, which I just released, and confirm that you can now
   update links instead of creating new ones with the import mechanism. The import
   will now update all fields for a link when the URL is a match. If you need to
   create links with the same URL but different information, you can uncheck the
   update option under the Import tab.
