Your data

Duplicates

Three “Signature” items in your lists, and you have to guess which one to use? The duplicate manager groups the items that repeat, and lets you decide on each one: rename, compare, delete.

Finding duplicates Expert Pro

How to
  1. Settings → Data management, Duplicates tab.
  2. Click 👥 Find duplicates….
  3. Tick your criteria, then Search.
CriterionDetail
Same titleticked by default
Same keywordticked by default
Same contentthe visible text, formatting and spaces ignored
Also compare SmartTexts with SmartMailsa SmartText and a SmartMail with the same content: one of them may need converting

An item shows up as soon as it meets one of the ticked criteria. Capitals and accents never count: “Résiliation” and “resiliation” are the same title. An empty field never forms a duplicate: forty items without a keyword are not forty duplicates.

Good to know

Pro plan only, included in the trial. The number of groups is shown on every plan by Data health.

Renaming, opening, comparing, deleting Expert Pro

Each group states its number of items and what brings them together (“3 items — same title”). On each line:

  • click the title to rename it in place, Enter to confirm;
  • Open opens the item in the editor, over the list;
  • Compare shows two items of the group side by side, field by field, with content differences highlighted line by line;
  • Delete sends the item to the bin. Tick several lines to delete them in one go.
Example

Three “Signature” items: Camille compares the first two — one has the old phone number —, deletes that one, and renames the third “Signature — short”.

Good to know

Nothing moves under your cursor: a renamed or edited line stays in place, greyed out and marked “done”; a deleted line is struck through. Groups are only recalculated at the next search.
