I followed the official sample from your docs: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/samples/upload-image-asset
I uploaded the *same image content multiple times*, and the API returned the *same resource name* each time — without any DUPLICATE_ASSET error. Just to confirm: - Is this the expected behaviour when the same image content is uploaded again? - Also, how can we confirm *before uploading* whether an identical image asset already exists in the account?
