topic Check for duplicate documents during upload in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-documents-during-upload/m-p/224170#M177300 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Is there a way to check if a document is already in the repository?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Background: In the past (without ECM) a team was used to share their documents via email. Everyone who got a document saved it somewhere on his private storage. Now, they've created a project structure in Alfresco and start uploading their docs. Since everyone has nearly the same documents this will lead to duplicates if either:</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- two team members save one and the same document in different Alfresco folders or</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- if two team members have the same document but one of them renamed it. So they will now save the same document with different names in the same Alfresco folder.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way to avoid this e.g. by automatically checking the contents of a document? I think this is a common problem when migrating to Alfresco.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Sep 2009 13:03:18 GMT sebp 2009-09-15T13:03:18Z Check for duplicate documents during upload https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/check-for-duplicate-documents-during-upload/m-p/224170#M177300 Is there a way to check if a document is already in the repository?Background: In the past (without ECM) a team was used to share their documents via email.
