Can't "Mark as Up-to-date" to the New Smart Album pics

[TheAnji]

Hi,

I have Flickr albums (many) created from Lightroom CC Flickr publish services. Published around 5000 pics. Now I want to merge multiple albums into one. I did it in Flickr web page very easily. So created same new album in Lightroom but all the pics are showing as "New to Publish". I don't want to publish all the 5K pics again. I can't mark them as already published as this is new album I created.

In other way,

I can only see "Mark as up-to-date" to the Modified Photos to republish. Is there anyway to Mark new photos as "Up-to-date"?

Please help. Is there any other way that we can skip republishing.

Thank you all in advance.

I am pretty sure this is impossible in the flickr plugin.
