Do I need to import passwords?

When I was updating my Safari 1Password Extension to 2.10.0 today, it asked if I wanted to import my passwords. What do I do? I have a 1Password subscription for Mac(a membership). When I log in to 1Password, I usually do so through the app on my dock. Then I navigate to my websites using 1Password in Safari with the little icon on the toolbar. I'm not sure what it means by importing passwords to Safari. My passwords are all in the 1Password app and in Safari via the little icon in Safari. So, every time when I have a 1Pass update in the App Store, it always asks if I want to import my passwords. My question is simply have I already done that? I'm confused. Sorry!

1Password Version: 8.10.4
Extension Version: 2.10.0
OS Version: macOS 10.15.7
Browser:_ Safari

After updating there is generally no need to reopen 1Password for Safari. For example if I update, I do not need to open 1Password for Safari as I completed the initial setup previously.

tl;dr You do not need to open 1Password for Safari on an update. :)

So, if I understand correctly, click on update but stop at that point. I.e., After it updates, there's no need to click on "Open". Is that right?
I think that's where I got confused.

Yes, Update only.

No worries we're all here learning together.
