Summary
The AI-Powered Duplicate Manager is your ultimate tool for maintaining a clean and efficient Asset Bank. This feature streamlines asset management by detecting and managing duplicate files across all Bynder-supported file types. Bynder has two options for Duplicate Management, exact duplicates and similar images, which are separated in the duplicate manager screen to allow for easier viewing of the assets. By identifying duplicates, active or archived, exact or similar, you can ensure that your DAM remains organized, up-to-date, and free of redundancy, enhancing both operational efficiency and the overall user experience.
