Function to import updated manuscript to replace existing one

It would be incredible if it were possible to 'update' the existing manuscript in a project with an external/uploaded docx file. This would be a huge benefit for those of us who need to export our mansucript to docx to send to an editor, but then need to upload the returned manuscript with comments from the editor to work on. As it is now, I envision I'll need to manually go through an delete each existing chapter (since you can't delete the whole manuscript at once), and then re-import the new docx with my editor's comments - and I'm not sure these will show up in the project? So I may have to work outside Campfire to address the edits before re-uploading, which defeats the fantastic purpose of having all the worldbuilding at my fingertips while I write. Thanks for considering!

I've recently had this exact situation. Working with my editor, I had to copy/paste my entire project into Google Docs, and edits are now almost done, and I'm dreading having to copy/paste each chapter back to Campfire to get the revisions. As an alternative, I'm considering creating an entire new project to import the docx file, but then I lose all my stats.
