Preventing accidental objects overwrite by Content Importer

We need additional capability of Content Importer that is preventing accidental objects overwrite.

We have introduced a special GUID assignment rule for illustrations. Sinse unique illustration management number is assigned for an illustration, we use it for GUID of the illustration object. The illustration management number is displayed on the illustration. Therefore, we can identify GUID of the illusration easily by referring a published PDF.

However, Content Importer imports files regardless of the same GUID objects exit in the repository. If someone imported an illustration with a certain illustration number and the other one imports an illustration with the same illustration number, that illustration will be overwritten. Therefore, we need an option that verifies whether the same GUID objects exist in the repository before importing objects.

I know that this is not a common case. But we'll appreciate if the above option is introduced.

Best,
