FAQ

Questions about this tool

What is an exact duplicate?

Every selected column has the same text value. Whitespace and case only differ if you normalize them first.

Can I deduplicate by email only?

Yes. Select email as the key and preview records that share it.

How does “most complete” work?

The row with the greatest number of non-empty selected fields is kept; ties remain deterministic.
