Agreed, however don't use that saved file to upload from again - it will have saved all the recent edits with a flag, and if you load it, make more edits, and THEN upload again you WILL get duplicates - better to upload then save, which gets rid of the flags, and / or download it again. It survives a single 'save with edits' OK, but it is possible to beat the system! Also if you keep a file & edit from that, you will miss any other edits as stated, + the user feature won't show you as editor of your points, as it only picks that up on download.
