> RE: revisions
What happens if something is revised on SE AFTER I import it here? What happens if new answers (specifically with a positive reputation) are added to my questions? If I revise content here, is there any way to automatically propagate that back to SE (i.e. can a "bot" submit a revision request on SE)?

Could there be a way, if we are the Q or A provider, to still include where the Qs and As came from? I typically get annoyed at "aggregation" sites (in particular news aggregators) where I have no idea where something appeared first. So, I'd personally still like readers of my stuff know which of my Q&As originated from SE vs here.

> RE: ... mapped links between SE and TA ...
If I have content on StackOverflow, SuperUser or CodeReview that is database-related, can I still import it into databases.TA? Or are there plans for adding categories that correspond to those SE subsites and I should just wait for those to be created before attempting to link non- dba.SE stuff?

There is no ongoing 'syncing' with SE after import; We agree there needs to be a way to get back to the SE post, and you can now import from SO to databases.ta.

Nothing at all happens in this case — importing posts is a one-time copy of whatever is there at the time of import, not a permanent link between the SE post and the post here.

Yes, this needs to be made more obvious, at the very least with a link on the [post history page](https://topanswers.xyz/answer-history?id=925).

We have added SO as a source for databases.ta (alongside dba.se), and can add other SE sites on request to individual communities here (there are some other obvious cases such as AskUbuntu and U&L for *nix).
