Who can use duplicate detection?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone with edit access to the workspace, library, or board
👯♀️ Duplicate Detector Restrictons
Can only be activated within a single board
Functionality of duplicate detection cannot apply workspace-wide
The data used to identify duplicates is limited to file name. Air does not use any image recognition to identify duplicates.
Duplicate detection is an essential feature that helps keep your assets and boards organized. As your file changes with edits, use the duplicate detection to keep up with the alterations. Here, we will explain how Air auto-detects duplicate assets and what happens when duplicates are detected.
Duplicate item name
When an asset with the same name is uploaded to a board, Air will automatically detect it. Auto-detection only happens at the board level; uploads to the library will not be checked. The modal requires you to choose how to proceed with the detected item before the upload completes on Air.
Stacking duplicates as new versions
An item stacked as a new version will allow the newly uploaded file to be linked to its counterpart. The new upload becomes the cover version for the asset stack.
Uploading duplicates as separate items
Choosing not to stack a duplicated asset as a new version allows the newly uploaded asset to be kept as a separate asset with the same name. Air will not rename the asset. If a user wants to stack the assets at a later date, you can manually create stacks right within Air!
