Duplicate Manager Settings

What are Duplicate Manager Settings?

Duplicate Manager Settings is the configuration section that allows user to manage and handle duplicate files during the upload process. This helps users control storage, reduce data clutter, and maintain consistency in their digital asset library

👉 Duplicate Manager Settings include:

• Enable Duplicate Scanner: Turn the duplicate scanner on/off.

• Duplicate Manager: Open the list of files flagged as duplicates by the system for centralized review and resolution.

• Resolve Duplicates in Uploader (choose how duplicates are handled during upload).

1, How to set up Duplicate Scanner for uploading assets

🔹 Step 1: Go to Duplicate Manager Settings

Client Profile → Settings → Duplicate Manager Settings

🔹 Step 2: Enable Duplicate Scanner

• When enabled, the system automatically checks the files being uploaded and compares them to existing files to avoid redundant storage and lets user decide how to handle them.

🔹 Step 3: Resolve Duplicates in Uploader (choose how duplicates are handled during upload)

In Resolve Duplicates in Uploader, choose one of the three modes:

• Allow duplicates – Allow uploading even if duplicates exist.

• Automatically discard duplicates – Automatically skip duplicate files and do not upload them.

• Show modal to allow manual resolution – Display a dialog so you can manually decide how to handle each case.

  • How it works: When duplicates are detected, the system shows a modal with comparison details (e.g., file name, existing uploader, etc.).

  • In the modal, users can choose actions either for individual assets or for all uploading assets at once:

    • Keep Duplicate Asset / Keep All

    • Discard Duplicate Asset / Clear All

    • Add as new version to the existing asset / Add as new version for all

    • Replace the existing asset with the incoming file / Replace all

2, Centralized duplicate management with Duplicate Manager

Duplicate Manager is a tool that helps you find, manage, and process duplicate or similar assset in your digital asset library.

How to Use Duplicate Manager

🔹 Step 1: Access the Duplicate Manager page

Client Profile → Settings → Duplicate Manager Settings → Duplicate Manager

🔹 Step 2: View the List of Duplicates

On the screen, you'll see two main tabs:

• EXACT DUPLICATES: Displays assets that are technically identical (same size, same content).

• SIMILAR IMAGES: Shows images with high visual similarity, even if they differ in size or format.

🔹 Step 3: Review and Choose a Resolution Option

In the EXACT DUPLICATES tab (do the same with Similar Images): Open each item detail to compare and choose how to resolve, including the following actions: Accept, Merge, Remove.

• MERGE: Combines the duplicate assets into a single one. The system will keep one original version and delete the rest, which helps you save storage space.

• REMOVE: Permanently deletes the selected assets from your library.

• ACCEPT: Keeps all the selected assets. Assets marked as Accepted will be managed under Accepted Duplicates (These Assets have been marked as unique and won't be flagged in future duplicate scans). Click Accepted Duplicates to view assets marked as duplicates
