Identify images already submitted.

Question

I have approximately 1000 images in my profile. I recently suffered a catastrophic episode and lost all my Lightroom catalogs, which identified all the previously submitted images.  I have all the images on storage media and want to rebuild the catalog.  My question is, how do I identify which of my images have already been submitted, so I don't get massive rejections for the ones already in my profile.  Is there a way to determine the filename that each image had when it was submitted.  I'm hoping not to have to visually compare each one with the thousands of images on my local drive.

You can search your own Portfolio by keyword before uploading any of your archived images to Adobe Stock but that will be very tedious and time-consuming. I suppose the only way to be sure you're not duplicating content in your Stock account is to upload only newly acquired images.

Adobe does not retain (publicly for you to see) the original file name. So there is no easy method of doing that. What you could do is to download the previews one by one from your public profile, and compare those with your files that you have on disk. It's a highly manual task. Going through 1000 assets will keep you occupied a while, but if you would rather not follow @Jill_C's counsel, you will need to do it that way. Each of your identified files could get a keyword attached, or could go into a specific collection, or both.

This won't account for the rejected assets, however. But if you are not resubmitting systematically rejected assets, that should not be a big issue.
