Enable Duplication Removal

Connect can automatically delete duplicate events by checking your new and modified events during synchronization. This will remove duplicate events from your sync sources.

To enable automatic duplication removal:

1. Click on the small arrow next to the Preferences icon and select the Event Duplication Settings option.
   
   
   
   
2. Select the Automatically remove duplicate events from my calendars option. If you wish you can also select other criteria such as Location and/or Attendees.
   
   
   
   

   Please note that:

   • Events are matched for duplicates based on a set of matching criteria. Events must have a matching summary and time, including recurrence, in order to be considered duplicates. We also recommend that you select the "Original Calendar" option as well, as this will ensure that events originally from different sync sources, which may appear the same, are not accidentally deleted. You can also further restrict how a duplicate event is determined by having Connect match the location field and the attendees. Checking more criteria reduces the number of events that are removed.
   • Events are never matched across connectors. Event duplicates are only found by comparing events from the sync sources in the connector, never with sync sources from other connectors.
   • If you have an existing connector which has duplicate events, please perform a connector cleanup.
