OK - has been merged so this is ready for testing and closing if the tests pass.

Retested for another use case. In the import site I created 2 announcements (not named the same as the import has), then imported the .imscc file. The original announcements remained and the announcements from the import were merged into the site, so the issue described only affects announcements imported, modified (by show/saving) which removes the “draft” label, and then doing another import of the same file.

If the instructor does a cc+ import for announcements, (all come in as drafts), modifies them to “Show” instead of “Hide” where appropriate, or saving the ones with a date, and then (for whatever reason) import the same cc+ file again, the import seems to overwrite the existing announcements that had changes made (except for an announcement with future dates).
I would have expected the worst case being that there would be duplicate announcements….the ones from the first import that were modified to “Show” and then the draft versions from the second import.
