Keep one useful record when the same item appears more than once.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

Review a selected database, compare records using a property chosen by its owner, and identify groups that may be duplicates. Keep one candidate available, show which records would be archived, and require an authorized owner to confirm the comparison before making changes. Archiving should remain recoverable; permanent deletion requires a separate decision.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

A proposed duplicate list with the selected matching value and record to keep visible for an authorized person.

What this workflow could do

Helps a database owner find repeated entries and prepare a safer cleanup while preserving review of every affected record.

Review points proposed in this idea

Matching values do not always mean records are duplicates, and archiving may affect people who rely on a page. Preserve the original records and context, restrict the review list, let the owner confirm which item is canonical, and require explicit approval before archiving. Do not permanently delete records as part of routine cleanup.

Explore the sequenceStep 1 of 5

  1. Confirm which collection is in scope and which property should be used to look for repeated entries.

Step 1 of 5

Choose an owner-approved database and match property

Confirm which collection is in scope and which property should be used to look for repeated entries.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Select the database and matching property

    Choose a specific collection and a stable property such as a title or address that the owner wants to compare.

  2. 02

    Define how a canonical record is chosen

    Set review guidance for incomplete, updated, or conflicting entries and route uncertain matches to a person.

  3. 03

    Preserve recovery and access controls

    Keep archives recoverable, limit access to cleanup results, and avoid exposing unrelated database contents.

  4. 04

    Assign record owners and cleanup approvers

    Name who confirms duplicates and who approves archiving or any separately considered deletion.
