The CELUM Content duplicate check automatically recognizes duplicate assets on upload. Once duplicates are detected, you can decide which actions to take. This way, any redundant asset upload is avoided, contributing to a better organization of your stored assets.
Duplicate check is done on asset content and against current asset version
Uploaded assets are only detected as duplicates when the asset content (binary) of the asset is exactly the same as the binary of an existing asset. Additionally, only the current version of each existing asset is checked. Previous versions are not compared.
Once you have started the upload of assets to CELUM Content,
all assets are checked for duplicates. If duplicates are found when the
upload is finished, you can resolve them with the "Resolve duplicates"
button in the progress snackbar:
Click "Resolve duplicates". The upload
wizard opens on its first step, the
duplicate check:
The duplicate check step consists of two areas:
On the left side, the duplicate list shows all newly uploaded assets for which duplicate assets have been found in the system.
On the right side, all existing assets that match the currently selected duplicate are shown. You can choose between seeing the existing assets in all available collections, or in a single specific collection.
Select one, multiple or all assets in the duplicate list and resolve the duplicate conflicts in one of three ways:
Click "Keep" to upload the selected duplicate assets as new assets.
Click "Remove" to cancel the upload for the selected duplicate assets.
Click the button "Link to <target collection>" for one of the existing assets on the right side to put it into the target collection instead of the duplicate asset.
You can also open the asset's detail view in a new tab with
the "View" icon 
.
This button will be disabled under the following conditions:
Target collection is strict and the existing asset is missing mandatory metadata.
The asset is already linked to the target collection.
You don't have the "Add to other security context" permission for assets in the current parent collection of the existing asset.
All resolved assets will be cleared from the duplicate list.
Once all duplicates have been resolved, the upload wizard jumps to the second step of the upload wizard, where you can assign asset types and edit metadata for your newly uploaded assets.
