What should I save and use?
Sorry for the question but I'm just confused, on what lists should I save and use? Should I save failed, identified, submitted, verified or all of them? And if ever I want to import them, which of them should I import? Should I import them all? And how can I import them? Should I just click import lists from files or other? Thanks!

Don't save Identified, Submitted or Failed. Only save Verified. You will never use the other 3, and you are wasting SER resources writing 3 files that are all crap anyway.
Several times a week, Use Options>Advanced>Tools to clean out duplicate URLs and duplicate domains in your verified file. After a month or two (assuming you are a new user), turn on sitelists in your projects to use Verified. The verified file accumulates about 95% duplicate targets, so you need to clean it out regularly.
An additional tactic after you dedupe is to import target URLs from Sitelists as suggested above. That helps a lot, but dedupe first.
And yes, you remove duplicate domains. SER automatically removes duplicate domains only from contextual platforms, not blog comments and such, so you will never lose inner page targets. So let's clear up that confusion right now.
Also above someone said NOT to remove duplicate DOMAINS? Any advantage to removing / not removing them?
