Albunack also suggests Discogs releases that seem to be equivalent to a MusicBrainz release, and you can link these using the button. Sometimes Albunack is unable to find a good match to a Discogs release but you may be able to see a good match so it allows you to provide a link to any Discogs release via the button. You can also import Discogs releases into MusicBrainz using the button, these are both available from the Action column for the release In all cases Albunack prepopulates the MusicBrainz Release Editor with the new information but you still need to check and submit the information. Please ensure you are already logged into the MusicBrainz website before attempting to link or import a release or it will not work.
