A computer-implemented method is performed by a collaboration module of a model-based systems engineering platform. The method includes maintaining a working version of a project and importing a first element from a remote database that stores a collaborative version of the project. Importing the first element includes comparing a database identifier (DBID) of the first element to elements included in the working version of the project. If the DBID matches the DBID of an existing element in the working version, then one or more data fields of the existing element are updated. If no DBID match is found, then the working version is searched for an element having a universally unique identifier (UUID) that matches a UUID of the first element. If, however, the first element does not include a UUID, then the first element is added to the working version of the project as a new element.
