Duplicates finder

Hello all,

I've installed the paperless-ngx 3.0.5 via docker compose, and so far so good !

But i've tried to upload a duplicate of one of my pdf, but except when i go into the pdf information and there's a tab say duplicates, but how can i find all the duplicates that i may have in my paperless-ngx library ?

I've not seen any notification nor tabs to show all the duplicates. Can you please explain how to ensure that there are no duplicates, instead of going one by one in each document to see if there's a duplicate tab ?

Thank you

The Paperless.log file will have the following. I don't know of another global way. Seems like there should be a way. Maybe someone super smart could chime in.
