Remove Duplicates

De-duplication involves identifying and removing duplicate documents to ensure clean and accurate workflows.

📘

Different versions of the same document are not classified as a duplicate.

Affinda inspects the document metadata to identify if the exact duplicate of the document has been previously uploaded to the Workspace. Documents re-submitted as a new version will not be classified as a duplicate.

Settings for removing duplicates can be found in the Workspace configuration settings under ‘Pre-processing’. If Affinda identifies a duplicate and the setting is enabled, the document will be automatically updated to be 'Rejected'. The user can still manually override and place the document back into a Workspace if required.

De-duplication ensures streamlined workflows, saves resources, and improves data reliability.
