When I import a list it changes my existing data and it's quite complicated.

You know it doesn't have to change your metadata if you don't want it to. I mean, you have the option to "update" or not.
When you "update metadata" for matched books, you have to choose or check or uncheck the columns you want to update, you also choose to update the books by selecting "all" or some to update.
Also, if there are columns you want to show to check that the metadata is correct or needs updating or need it to accurately match to the list, but the column isnt there, just select the column in the dropdown of available columns to match, even if it is empty or not pointing to anything in the list, it will show you what it has.
