We're also caught between 'how DAZ Connect is meant to work' and what's actually implemented in the current Beta.

Not in this Beta... is the ability to convert a chosen product you already have on your drive into 'DAZ Connect ready' version, with no re-downloading the whole item.

DAZ are recommending people hold off on 'converting' in this Beta as the re-downloads won't be necessary in a later version.
