Duplicate Handler

Use Case

The «Duplicate Handler» extension is used to detect duplicate assets in the system, display them and, if necessary, synchronize the metadata to ensure data consistency and efficiency. The extension comes with two plug-ins. The «Duplicate Check & Sync» allows manual checks to be carried out, while the «De-Duplicator» checks for the potential presence of duplicates in the background and removes them automatically.
