Navigate to "Duplicates" in the left menu of your DAM.
Review the dashboard that shows all detected duplicate files.
What each column means

Actions, opens a menu with tools for managing duplicates.
Note: The Items column helps you quickly spot which files need attention.
Resolving duplicate assets
In the Duplicates section, locate the asset you want to review.
Open the Actions menu.
Select "Open duplicates" to view all locations where the copies are stored.
Review the list to decide which version you want to keep or remove.
⚠️ Important: Before removing a duplicate, confirm that the remaining file is the correct and most complete version.
Tips for success
Check the Duplicates dashboard regularly to keep your DAM clean.
Remove outdated or unused copies to save storage and reduce confusion.
