Duplicate entries

Is there any way to quickly get rid of duplicate entries? That is other than deleting them one by one?

    Yes! And you don't want to just delete duplicates. If you delete an item that was previously cited in a document, it will break the link to your Library (even though an "exact duplicate" still exists).

    So, follow the instructions here: https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection

    Edit: Oh, and note well, the algorithm for determining duplicates isn't perfect. False positives do occur. This is actually a complex task. This is a known issue and is on the Devs radar. So don't just blindly click merge.
