Do you check for duplicate URLs when importing clips?

Duplicate, URL, coverage, clip, check

Yes. If you try to add a URL that's already in a report, we'll automatically detect its a duplicate and it won't get added again. This helps ensure you don't accidentally add clips more than once.

You'll see this warning that a duplicate has been detected (click to show the URL details)

How do I find the original clip I added to my report?

If you have lots of clips in a report, or perhaps lots of Sections, a quick way to find the clip is to search for it in the Coverage Vault. Click on the Coverage menu in the main navigation bar at the top when you're signed in. You can search for the publication name or title. It'll give you a link to the clip inside the report. We have more info on this here.

The URL isn't a duplicate, its a newer version of the same webpage I added before

If you want to add a newer version of an article that has reused the same URL in a report, like an events calendar, or best of article, you can make a copy of the original clip in your book and update it to the latest version (with a new screenshot). Here's how.
