# DREDUPLICATE

Removes or tags duplicates after indexing.

This index action runs on a specified subset of the content, locating duplicates using a variety of methods. Any duplicates can then be deleted, moved to a different database, or tagged within a specified field, depending on the value of DuplicateAction that is chosen.

NOTE:

The `DREDUPLICATE` index action only removes duplicate documents within a single Content component, rather than removing duplicates over the whole distributed system. To remove all duplicates, you must ensure that duplicates of a document are all sent to the same instance of the Content component, for example by using DistributeByFields mode.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:20001/DREDUPLICATE?DuplicateAction=Delete&ReferenceField=*/DREREFERENCE

In this example, duplicates are identified using the `DREREFERENCE` field, and any duplicates found are deleted.
