# Obsidian Starter Kit - How-to guide - How to detect duplicate notes Since version 1.3.0, the Obsidian Starter Kit includes a utility note to help you discover duplicate notes: ![[Obsidian Starter Kit - How-to guides - How to detect duplicate notes - duplicate notes.png]] You can use it to quickly discover duplicate notes and fix those. Once you have identified a duplicate note, you have multiple options: - Pick one of the two, merge it with the other and remove the bogus one - Ignore if it makes sense (in that case, consider filtering those from the query) 💡 The duplicate notes are also displayed in the [[Obsidian Starter Kit - Home note (Dashboard)]]
